IETF architecture document on location payloads,location services, ES, privacy and security

["Carl Reed" <creed@opengeospatial.org>]

Worth a read. Comments are also welcome. Chances are that the internet infrastructure folks (Cisco, Andrews, BBN, Motorola, etc) will be using this document for guidance. Also will feed into the emergency calling communities. I will be on a conference call this PM discussing this document. I have already provided some comments. This document is truly global and not specific to anyone nation or region. Very well written. Quite possibly location content for use in CAP or EDXL will come from this architecture as the work is harmonized with the Next generation 9-1-1 activity.

FYI, the LO (location object) is a GML application schema instance :-)
