Apparently the last 10 or so messages I've sent to the list were silently eaten due to an address change. Let's see if this one goes through.
If you're going to write a XEP, consider making it relatively generic, so we can embed other typed information into a form (rather than making it geoloc-specific, in the same theme as XEP-158). Also consider interactions with XEP-122, XEP-141, and XEP-221.
