Since you believe so strongly in having a geoloc: scheme, why not create an implementation that requires it and attempt to see it become widely deployed/utilized? If the web community does receive it well then you'll almost certainly get 'official' recognition of your scheme because of its wide deployment and because the arguments against cost of deployment will disappear. After all, that's how many of the more useful standards emerge; someone unilaterally makes them happen and then standards bodies corral them to help ensure broader interoperability. -- -Mike Schinkel http://www.mikeschinkel.com/blogs/ http://www.welldesignedurls.org http://atlanta-web.org
