Should the Geolocation API include privacy information?

The Geolocation WG has long been considering how to best deal with user privacy, and whether the API itself should have hooks for privacy or if the document should require or recommend specific UA behavior. The WG has had proposals from the IETF GeoPriv working group to include a of number privacy related items in the Coordinates object. See ISSUE-4 (http://www.w3.org/2008/geolocation/track/issues/4 ) for details.

During the December 2008 F2F we concluded that we would publish without including the items requested by the GEOPRIV WG in the Position object, but would include a note that further privacy text would be included in the next draft. The group is currently working through what the final text should say before publication as Last Call, this is being tracked in ISSUE-5 (w3.org/2008/geolocation/track/issues/5 ). More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
