Just for reference I have hacked about with this a bit at the following link:
https://github.com/DonaldMcC/w2p_location_widget It now provides an example app with reverse geocoding, ability to pickup users location per html5 and a method of working with non-geospatial databases by moving the result to separate latitude and longitude - however some of that is not strictly plugin and would need a bit more incorporation. Doubtless there are better ways of doing this but as far as I can see what is there does work.
