Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Geolocation API (#529)

> Thanks, @marcoscaceres. To clarify: we were thinking more about advice to implementers of geolocation, rather than making changes to the Permissions API. Repeated prompts and UI indicators should be in the suite of options that browsers can use to empower/inform their users.

TBH, I'm hesitant to add anything that makes UI suggestions. Having worked at multiple browser vendor companies, the privacy UI teams of those companies are exceptionally professional (and scientific!) at coming up with innovative solutions to the UI challenges of the Web. I'd feel like we would be overstepping or being patronizing if we suggested anything, given that we are not user-testing anything we would propose. 

Case in point, Mozilla's solution for [annoying notification requests](https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/block-notification-requests/) and the [underlying research](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/11/upcoming-notification-permission-changes-in-firefox-72/) that went into that solution.

> Beyond that though, we don't think we have much more to add. We're glad to see the progression this effort has taken, given the years in its development and our privacy concerns on earlier iterations. We are proposing to close this issue, but let us know if we can help with anything else.

Thanks again @hadleybeeman and TAG members. This has been very fruitful!
