Re: axes and normalization of orientation events

> Parking a car.
I assume you're referring to the need to calculate the location of,
for example, the edges of the car, from knowledge of the location of a
fixed point in the car and the car's orientation.

The Geolocation spec states that the location given is that of the
hosting device. In the case of a car, this would presumably be the
computer driving the dashboard display and the car manufacturer surely
knows the location of the computer within the car.

I agree that the Geolocation could specify more precisely an origin
within the hosting device, but I think the current spec is probably
sufficient accuracy for the parking example.

Perhaps you could elaborate further.

Thanks,
Steve
