In which case I presume that someone used their ability to reply to the Team privately instead of being open about what they wanted. This disturbs me a little since it increases the resources and coordination required, IMHO, to do what is a pretty simple piece of work. For the record, Opera would also like to see the geolocation work take place inside the webAPI group and is unhappy that it has been removed from the proposed charter for Web Apps.
