A bit of thinking.. This may belong in an APRS listserv but I was thinking how Xastir could be expanded and noticed a Linux RFID project on Sourcefoge - This made me wonder if we could localise situation data by linking up rfid devices to aprs by some box that translated rfid data to aprs compatible protocol.
Here is the example I thought of. In an emergency certain vehicles, devices or hardware could have rfid devices stuck on them and an emergency controller could know what is where via aprs and in a changing situation ask for things to be moved as per necessary. I maybe well out - I'm no developer though but though it worth mentioning for discussion rather than forget it.
