Browsers should be able to get this (and more?) information from the URL of the resource in many cases (e.g. www.psychology.nottingham.ac.uk pins it down pretty specifically to one particular building in a British university). Within documents, there's nothing stopping anyone putting in META elements within an HTML page to encode physical location, and for robots to pull out and utilise that information for searches, e.g. <META NAME="location" CONTENT="Nottingham, UK"> <META NAME="location" CONTENT="San Francisco, California, USA"> <META NAME="location" CONTENT="Spain"> Jeni Jeni Tennison Department of Psychology, University of Nottingham University Park, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK tel: +44 (0) 115 951 5151 x8352 fax: +44 (0) 115 951 5361 url: http://www.psychology.nottingham.ac.uk/staff/Jenifer.Tennison/
