Of course, working with other browser vendors AND other invested parties is important. > > > I would strongly encourage folks to join and start discussions now, > > rather than waiting.

[Sunava Dutta] I think Doug makes some very good points here. MSFT's stand based on the considerations that Doug has raised is that it should go to a new WG. There are teams here that do not need to be randomized with other WebApps conversations (that I participate in) but are nonetheless invested in GeoLocations. There is no additional burden for me to join a new list/WG and I'm glad to do so. > > > I sense that, for some reason, people are feeling territorial about > > this issue, and I'm not sure why.
