David, The ICBM standard is for geotagging the actual content whereas we are talking about a standard that lets the content know the location of the User or device so that the website can be location-aware.
I want to use as much of the existing standards, but have more questions about where it should exist in ecosystem and how servers and webpages would expect to see it and use it. -----Original Message----- From: David Latapie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 3:56 PM To: Ryan Sarver Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [whatwg] Geolocation in the browser On Wed, 21 Feb 2007 15:31:11 -0500, Ryan Sarver wrote: > - would it make sense to also expose it in the request headers?
