Yes. I would also suggest to write up the results and only briefly 
mention the process.

SWJ (and most other journals) does not publish reports. I would simply 
suggest "Best Practices for Publishing, Retrieving, and Using Spatial 
Data on the Web". The key point to getting a paper like this accepted 
will be to find an interesting way of structuring our insights and 
providing examples. I assume that we will submit this under SWJ's survey 
category?

Best,
Krzysztof
