+1

This would help to create much smarter and more "reliable" systems who
use the data.

In my humble opinion this is the trickiest part. I think there will be
crowing number of sources: GPS, manual, speedometer, Geode, Fire
Eagle, Latitude ... etc.

Should it be just a free text field with some values like GPS to be
recommended to use?

In the end we would have something like this, right? :

<geoloc xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/geoloc' xml:lang='en'>
 <source>GPS</source>
 <lat>45.44</lat>
 <lon>12.33</lon>
</geoloc>
<geoloc xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/geoloc' xml:lang='en'>
 <source>Open Street Map</source>
 <text>Marcon, Venezia, Veneto, Italy</text>
 <country>Italy</country>
</geoloc>

... and so on.


Cheers,
