Otherwise are we really just re-inventing or revisiting the type of work
started in geojson[1], etc?

As I see it...at the heart of it all is the centroid[3]/extent[4]
separation where the centroid/point is the origin Location for the POI.
On top of that can be mapped or projected zero or more extents or
models.

So the centroid or point seems to map pretty clearly to the existing
Location models (e.g. gml:Point, geo: etc).

Then the extents seem to map clearly to the existing data models for
"other types" of geometries that are relatively common. Here are the
KML and geojson terms just to list two.
