Is the following approach already XMPP standards compliant (i.a.w.

<geolocxmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/geoloc";>

or does this require a new XEP similar to XEP-0221 ?
I don't think this is currently compliant (with any specification in
particular).
XEP-0221 essentially provides ways of providing media data in a form
as a challenge, rather than as a response - or at least, that's
certainly how it's used in XEP-0158. THis might explain why they
don't use the type except as the type of the response - hence it's
usually left as type-single (the default).
So if your intent is to provide a geoloc blob inside a form, perhaps
in response to a search form, for instance, then I think your
solution above is OK, but would need a XEP - I think.
If you're asking for a way to prompt for, and enter a geoloc blob as
a submitted value in a form, then we need to define a type, and
possibly more.
