There are obvious privacy concerns -- I feel they can be alleviated with the proper level of control for the user. Currently in our prototypes, the browser prompts the user for each request, which they can allow or deny and then remember that preference for subsequent requests from that domain. What type of privacy control are you envisioning? As for a user-interface problem, its not much different than the allowing / blocking of popups on a per-domain basis. There are definitely existing standards to piggy-back ontop of in terms of UI controls and dialogs. -----Original Message----- From: Henri Sivonen [mailto:hsivonen@iki.fi] Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 4:24 PM To: Ryan Sarver Cc: whatwg at lists.whatwg.org Subject: Re: [whatwg] Geolocation in the browser On Feb 21, 2007, at 22:31, Ryan Sarver wrote: > What are people's thoughts on location in the browser? My first thought is that it is a privacy problem. And per-site configurability of the exposure of location data is a user interface problem. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
