Hi Geolocation WG, I'm writing to request a non-normative addition to the Geolocation specification. In order to enable geolocation in W3C Widgets, Opera is currently using a "feature declaration" in the configuration document of a widget. Essentially, the request to enable a geo-location in a widget looks like: <widget xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"> <feature name="http://www.w3.org/TR/geolocation-API/" /> </widget> In the widgets space, we are starting to see fragmentation wrt the feature string UA's use to enable geolocation. If the geolocation specification could give some authoritative guidance, that would likely resolve the fragmentation issue. My personal opinion is to use a simple and version-less namespace, like the ones currently used for XML namespaces: http://www.w3.org/ns/geolocation-api Kind regards, Marcos -- Marcos Caceres Opera Software
