RE: updated editor's draft of the Geolocation API specification

Thanks Lars - I had a raised an issue that the fields in the current set
of civic fields are insufficient to represent indoor location. For
example, to represent a position within a floor such as a mall, airport,
multi-floor building...etc.

Would you prefer a separate issue for this?

Hi Allan,

Civic addresses are proposed for "version 2" of the spec:
