For type="gps" I was thinking something like the following: 1) type="gps" results in a (double?) text box which takes a latitude and a longitude 2a) there is some css option that tells the text box to act like a map instead. 2b) If the css option is on there is also some method of requesting a "map source" this source could be any existing map provider Then again now that I think about it some more I don't see this working out too well. -- Eitan Adler
