There has been an incredible amount of work on this topic across many standard organizations including the IETF. Before people start in on discussing this in - I strongly suggest they might want to read some of the requirements, uses cases, drafts, and mailing list discussions in ECRIT and GEOPRIV. Please keep in mind the charters of ECRIT/ GEOPRIV/SIP and take the discussion to the right working group.

So no XML, no mime/multipart, as simple as possible (no complex semantics,
usage-rules etc), something to reduce the barrier of
implementation/deployment, and to reduce the risk for interop issues?

i fully agree with this.  we should follow KISS principle here.  it is
highly unlikely that sip ua vendors will even TRY implement such a
complex protocol.

another reason why it will not get implemented is that sip uas don't
know where they are located. gps does not work well indoors and mobile operators at least here have refused to make public coordinates of their
base stations.
