Description:
1. Current Entry:
"Spatial thing: Anything with spatial extent, i.e. size, shape, or position. e.g. people, places, bowling balls, as well as abstract regions like cubes. Compare with the ISO definition for Spatial Object. [ W3C-BASIC-GEO]"

2. Iso definition is actually for a spatial object.

URI: http://registry.it.csiro.au/sandbox/iso-tc211/terms/419, or TC"11 spreadsheet

"object used for representing a spatial characteristic of a feature"

defined in ISO 19107:2003

3. W3C-BASIC-GEO does not seem to try anything as rash as defining a spatial watchmacallit

4. Propose to stick with the ISO definition, and probaly no change needed to the 95 occurrences of 'Spatial Thing' in the BP
