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.
And in case it wasn't clear, Apple would like to see this work item
taken up, preferably inside this WG to save delay and coordination
complexity.
We cannot volunteer editing resources but we would like to help with
review and test cases.

Maciej
