In fact, I proposed on the WebApps WG charter to add this deliverable.
However, the Advisory Committee's review of the charter indicated that
the Membership wants this to happen in a dedicated Geolocation API WG.
The W3C intends to follow through on that, and to allocate Team
resources to this valuable technology. We will announce something
formal soon.

I could not find record of any such objection in the Advisory Committee
mailing list archives, or any record of an official W3C decision on this
point. As Team contact, could you please explain who made this decision
and on what basis?
In which case I presume that someone used their ability to reply to the
Team privately instead of being open about what they wanted. This disturbs
me a little since it increases the resources and coordination required,
IMHO, to do what is a pretty simple piece of work.
For the record, Opera would also like to see the geolocation work take
place inside the webAPI group and is unhappy that it has been removed from
the proposed charter for Web Apps.
