Hi all, As you may remember [0], the Geolocation API spec has been stuck in Proposed Recommendation [1] since more than a year due to its dependency on WebIDL, combined with lack of actual support for WebIDL semantics in its implementations. Recently, the W3C Director chose to promote a specification in a similar situation (Web Storage) to Recommendation status: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-ac-members/2013JulSep/0019.html and follow up discussions on https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-ac-forum/2013JulSep/0057.html [Member-only links unfortunately] Part of that decision was to demote the dependency on WebIDL to its purely syntactic form, without asserting that implementations also fully follow the associated semantics. I would like to offer to submit a similar transition for the Geolocation API, and will proceed with such an offer unless I hear objections in the upcoming week; explicit support for that proposal would also be very useful. Thanks, Dom 0. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-geolocation/2012Sep/0000.html 1. http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/PR-geolocation-API-20120510/
