This list feels a bit restrictive. What about "Car"
or "Healt Institute" or a coffee shop in an airport?
Suggestion: use the value set (and IANA process) from
draft-ietf-simple-rpid-04.txt section 3.5.


I believe there was agreement on that earlier.

     Method (8 bits):
       Describes the way that the location information was
       derived or discovered. The following values are currently
       defined:
       (0) Global Positioning System (GPS)
       (1) GPS with assistance (A-GPS)
       (2) Manual configured information
       (3) Provided by DHCP
       (4) Triangulation: triangulated from time-of-arrival,
           signal strength or similar measurements
       (5) Cell: location of the cellular radio antenna
       (6) IEEE 802.11 WLAN access point



I'd like to make this list a bit more technology independent.
Or, its OK to give the location information determination
method (such as A-GPS), but I don't think you should tie it
to the access technology. Suggest changing the last 2 items
to "(5) Cell: location of the network's antenna". Or use
a macro/microcell distinction if that feels better.

See also http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-geopriv-pidf-lo-03.txt, Section 2.2.3. While the two are the same, there is no reference to the PIDF-LO registry. Since it seems silly to have two different ones, this should be called out.
