What kind of granularity is useful -- would you want a <source> for the lat/lon (GPS), plus somehow another <source> for the <speed> (speedometer)?

Similarly for <alt> and <bearing>.

I supposed you can make source an optinal attribute on every child of geoloc, but I think that would not be particularly useful and wasteful. If multiple sources are providing information, I would put them in separate geoloc elements and either bundle all the geolocs into one publish message, or send multiple publish messages (of course this depends on your transport of choice - I'm assuming pubsub here).


That sounds sensible. On that topic it would be nice to have a tag for where mobile clients could just dump the CellIDs they see and send the stanza to the server which would then do the heavy lifting and look the position up locally or at a 3rd party service and would replace the CellID tag with the
coordinates and accuracy tags.

A bit like this? :)

Yes, I believe the BuddyCloud guys are to thank for that.
