This looks good, but I'd like to add one thing to the list. If you enter a location that isn't in the GeoNames database, how do you have the member provide the needed information.

That's a big question. First, Geonames has great coverage down to the city level and, as you noted, even for neighborhoods and major landmarks in lots of cities.

But it doesn't get down to street addresses or business names. I think there are some other (free for use) databases that cover those things. Not sure about how to reach them or if they've got Web APIs.

So my first approximation is: we punt on the Cask'n'Flagon for 0.9.x and fine-tune afterwards.
