AM> Hi,
AM> I've just posted a new revision of the "geo" URI draft.
AM> http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-geopriv-geo-uri-02.txt
I'm glad to see it's finally out! I hope to update my
simplistic ``geo: to Google'' geo-uri.sh implementation soon.
I still have concerns over the lack of support for the sheer
variety of CRS currently in use. My ``guess'' is that these
exist on purpose, and not because the parties involved didn't
reach an agreement. While the intent of the geo: URI scheme is
to allow for ``a protocol independent, compact and generic way
to refer to a physical geographic location'', its use for this
purpose may be hampered by the necessity to perform otherwise
unnecessary (and wasteful to the computer's resources)
projection transformations.
There's no necessity to put everything in a single proposal,
though.
AM> The major changes compared to the -01 version are:
AM> - "u" (Uncertainty) URI parameter added
While the current version's definition for uncertainty is
probably the most unambiguous and simple, I'm in doubt that the
formulae necessary to, e. g., show the uncertainty defined in
such a way on a map, are going to be implemented in many
``geosimple'' programs anytime soon.
(FWIW, it looks to me like a lot of hassle to handle the `u'
parameter in my geo-uri.sh script.)
Hopefully an implementation of the necessary computations will
be available before the wide adoption of the scheme.
AM> - IANA Registry added for URI parameters
AM> - GML mappings restructured
AM> - Security Considerations rewritten (Privacy issues)
AM> - Feedback from URI-Review incorporated
AM> I think i have addressed all of the comments that i have received,
AM> so from my point of view i think this is a pretty stable revision
AM> that probably could be WGLCed soon?
AM> Comments appreciated.
So far I've spotted some minor issues on wording, punctuation
and alike (hopefully not false positives), which I'm going to
enumerate later.
