class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;">I
very strongly support the addition of "source" and "provider"
information to the geoloc spec, but their addition means that we might
also have to modify the way we represent "stop commands." According to
XEP-0080:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote"
style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">In
order to indicate that the user is no longer publishing any location
information, the user's client shall send an empty <geoloc/>
element, which can be considered a "stop command" for geolocation.</blockquote>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Example Use Case: Transmit a "stop command" for a WIFI source, but
continue sending information from a GPS source.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The options are 1) include "source" and "provider" as optional
attributes of the <geoloc/> element, or 2) alter the
representation of the stop command.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>By including the "source" and "provider" as optional attributes of
<geoloc/>, we can continue using an empty <geoloc/> as a
stop command:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><geoloc </div>

<div> xml:lang='en'</div>
<div> source='wifi'/> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I prefer, though, altering the representation by adding an
explicit termination, such as the type='stop' below:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><geoloc </div>
<div> xmlns='<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow"

<div> xml:lang='en'</div>
<div> type='stop'><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<source>wifi</source> <br>
</geoloc></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are there any other options that I'm missing?</div>
