It would be nice though, to be able to take something marked up with
geo and have it generate KML and get handed off to Google Earth or to
have it open up Google Maps (with the web-app content handler stuff in
the WHATWG webapp proposal).

The problem with geo is that it is horrible to show in a UI. The

For a typical end user, geo just doesn't make a lot of sense. It's a
"geek" feature.
You will be able to add geo support similar to how Operator works,
with a user script.

Why only "maybe" geo? I think there is a strong case for including
geo,
especially once KML and GPX export are available.
Where is this being discussed, and how is it best to make one's views
known, or to "vote"?
