ACTION-501: Geolocation access control on a per site basis

Matt,

That TAG has been doing some work on privacy and Web API "minimization". 
Some months ago I took a TAG action to find out whether the Geolocation 
working group ever decided to adopt some means of controlling access to 
location information on a per-application or per-site basis, and if so what.

I do see your "4.1 Privacy considerations for implementors of the 
Geolocation API" [1]. Is there anything else that we should be aware of, 
whether in the specs or being debated for the future? Thank you very much.

BTW: www-tag is a public mailing list, and you are welcome to relay this 
note, or a link to it, to members of the Geolocation WG if you think they 
would be interested. Thank you very much

Noah

P.S. Tracker, this relates to TAG ACTION-501
