Here I am. :) > The names "*-error-m" are ugly, but are currently there to be unambiguous.

In version 1.6 of XEP-0080 we deprecated <error/> (arc-minutes) in favor of <accuracy/> (meters): http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0080.html#appendix-revs > We define an "accuracy-level" key in the same namespace: maybe we could ask > psa > to avoid that name in the XEP, or maybe we could even put it in the XEP as an > enumerated thing, with values > 'country'/'region'/'locality'/'postal-code'/'street'/'detailed'. I don't follow. /psa _______________________________________________ Telepathy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/telepathy
