[JDEV] jabber extensions available for handling locationinformation

[Arjan Peddemors]

Yes, this could very well work, although for "protocol
cleaness" I'd prefer to have presence at the same level as
location (maybe also as part of <message/>). From a context
information point of view, presence and location ar similar.
The nice part here is that it would be relatively simple to
add other kinds of context information (temperature, social
setting, acceleration, ...). Of course, a pubsub component that
is generic, flexible, and fully integrated with the jabber
server must be in place...
