Re: [Geopriv] loc-filters additional requirements

I'm particularly interested in keeping the same functionality for filtering
for SIP and HELD, so I don't want to see HELD-specific solutions.

I think you could easily force a civic by requiring country code field, with
something similar for the geo.

I suspect, but haven't thought out how to do something similar to force a
particular shape

I'd probably go along with adding quality filters, but I'd prefer we first
make the quality parameters actual elements in a PIDF instead of implicitly
using something like the circle radius. We could then ask for a specific
value or range of those elements of the PIDF.
