[Geopriv] RE: [Ecrit] Location information in emergency sessioninitiation, need for time and accuracy?

It is interesting that you point this out and I am certainly no expert
in aviation and marine location systems. I will however point out that
from what I have seen that searches at sea and for downed aircraft often
span many thousands of square kilometres, I scarcely think that this
would be acceptable in a domestic wired or wireless phone emergency
situation.

I would also point out that if you have used the same encoding as is
used in those industries it behoves you to have put them in the
references section of the RFC, and to have indicated that the encoding
scheme came from the there in the text somewhere, I certainly couldn't
find any.

Now back to my initial series of questions:

Point or Polygon, single answer please.
How do you intend to address the concern regarding errors.

Cheers
James
