Actually, if you dig down they do go further with lines and polygons and
boxes. Using our civilLoc schema in RSS/Atom would also be interesting.
Beginning with Andrew Davial's work, we have discussed publishing location
information in HTML and HTTP. RSS and Atom are along the same lines of
HTML. Though the work was never pursued because the authors did not have
the time, but we did reach conclusions of approach on these matters. To
summarize that conclusion: 1) putting LI in HTTP headers was considered
harmful in that web clients might unknowingly hand LI to web servers
unbeknownest to the user, and 2) putting LI in HTML seems reasonable as it
is normally intended as public information and understood by web masters, etc...
