Many people prefer to plot audio by a single point. Does it work? Sure! You can see that in action on places like zooomr (zooomerations). Does it make for a reasonable long term solution? No not really, but points are simple.
Go ahead and make a spec, but that doesn't necessarily make it a standard. If only it were that simple!

Not meaning to be hostile. If I'm going to be publishing a standard
for georeferencing audio (and nobody else seems to be doing so), then
I want to publish a good one.

Above, you said "I often do sound recording while moving." That
sounds to me like you're actively aware of and managing the recording
process.

Like what? I can't imagine any circumstance in which a path would be
more useful than a point. Perhaps, as Tom suggested, it would be
better for the audio to be continuous, with the point merely being
inserted out of band into the audio stream.
I agree with you that having an audio file and a movement track
correlated is better than not having the movement information. I
think it would be better to have begin/end markers that says "this
segment of audio discusses this location".
