I'm not sure when the RDFIG/SWIG basic geo SpatialThing vocabulary started to be taken so seriously! https://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/ and https://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos were just a bunch of us from the W3C RDF IG / Semweb IG collaborating in a few IRC chats, as a result of our having noticed that a lot of us had made up similar-looking RDF schemas that defined lat/long-related properties. The main lesson from that exercise was that people will adopt something and assume it has had careful review, merely because it is on w3.org. It took quite a while (~3 years!) before someone noticed that we defined an 'alt' property without saying what it means. Please don't tie yourself in knots trying to coordinate with it; instead consider any modest improvements we could make to its documentation (including pointers to later work from this group or elsewhere).
