Rigo is correct. We need to define geo-location to make the spec reflect the mobile data tracking system

As we're nearing consensus (perhaps not) on the collection and use of data across non-affiliated web sites as a definition for tracking, the question is where does precise geolocation fit in that definition?  There are many privacy issues to solve for in the online world - DNT will help advance user privacy in a meaningful way for its scope.  I understand the allure of wanting to "pile on" in this process but I'd suggest we manage this in a different forum (perhaps a different W3C WG on Location data).
