RFC 3427 placed location conveyance correctly in SIP.

There was a requirements exercise outside SIP, which preceded it, which
apparently some key players did not buy into. But not buying into the
requirements documents at the time they were written is apparently a
general GEOPRIV problem.

The semantic of the current GEOPRIV draft should have been written into
the location conveyance requirements draft before it was endorsed by the
working group that produced it. Then we would not have had this
continual reversal of opinion.

We seem to have too many people who think protocol design consists of
listing all the codepoint values they can think of, and then getting
IETF to endorse it. Use cases and requirements are a key part and the
charters of various RAI groups make clear provision for those drafts to
be written, and the work then passed over.
