RE: Issue 86: Location Identifier in Location-Information Attribute

[<jouni.korhonen@teliasonera.com>]

Hi Hannes, 

The proposed Location-Id 'feature' could actually be useful e.g.
with UMA and 3GPP GAN services -- helping operators to differentiate
service areas between WLAN hotspots and such. However, I still
think one can exploit e.g. existing civic location TLVs such as LOC
for the same purpose.  

Cheers,
	Jouni
