Right, I thought of the same. But we don't have a standard way on the platform to register for "event streams". That is, neither addEventListener() nor "foo.onwhatever" (EventHandler attribute) are well suited for this because of the need to provide "options".
So, something like:
EventStream watchPosition( optional options);
var es = Geolocation.watch( options );
es.on("change", handleChange);
es.on("error", handleError);
es.close();

Absolutely.
