I could not find record of any such objection in the Advisory
Committee mailing list archives, or any record of an official W3C
decision on this point. As Team contact, could you please explain who
made this decision and on what basis?
In which case I presume that someone used their ability to reply to the
Team privately instead of being open about what they wanted. This
disturbs me a little since it increases the resources and coordination
required, IMHO, to do what is a pretty simple piece of work.
I think you may be overstating how simple this is, for what it's worth.
Exposing coordinates sounds simple, sure... but the security and
privacy implications are stickier, as is the legal landscape (both in
terms of privacy laws and of IPR).
For the record, Opera would also like to see the geolocation work take
place inside the webAPI group and is unhappy that it has been removed
from the proposed charter for Web Apps.
Noted. I will convey your sentiments to the Team.
