Joe, Dave, Using XEP-221 and replacing the media type with geloc would be indeed step one. I've read a bit more about the Buddycloud API and came across XEP-0255 Location Query ( http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0255.html ). Is this XEP still active? The location butler could be the service that provides the geoloc blob inside a form.
