Re: Requirements Document

I'm curious how this should work - should the working group specify a UI
mechanism that says "I consent for this call/protocol exchange to have
my location revealed" or "I consent for calls of this type (e.g., to
this location) to have my location revealed" or should a caller/user be
prohibited from ever revealing his or her location? Pardon my puzzlement
as to how this should work in real life.
