Geopriv

[there already have been comments about this ID, but here is a formal 
call for comments by the authors]

We have submitted an initial version of a new ID that communicates a 
Geoshape via DHCP.  Presently, we define how to download a 
point/position, a circle and a polygon in 2D or 3D, in IPv4 and IPv6.

This effort takes the lead from RFC 4776 (civic) for its format of 
extensibility, in which there are a few header fields in this Option 
that are present in all shapes, but the majority of the fields are 
similar to civic Option in that it provides a Geotype, Geolength and 
Geovalue format.  This document includes exactly which Geotypes are 
required, which are optional, and which aren't to be there for each shape.

This document also includes a mapping to the PIDF-LO, for converting 
each field (presently defined in the PIDF-LO) to where it goes in the 
PIDF-LO - articulating the XML elements to be populated.

Comments are welcome
