Liar, liar your pants are on fire . . .

I am reading the draft document now. A couple of questions/suggestions:

1. Perhaps a more "serious" element name than "liar"?  I agree that the 
ability to provide a replacement location has value and is definitely easier 
than trying to obscure one's location. But . . .
2. What happens in an emergency call situation? The NENA folks might wonder. 
Perhaps some words on the emergency call use case.
3. There might be some interesting legal issues here. Also perhaps has some 
counter-terrorism or drug interdiction implications. Of course, if law 
enforcement can always get "true" location from the location determination 
provider or mobile device or mobile provider perhaps this is not an issue. 
Anyway, I passed this document to the folks at the Center for Spatial Law 
and Policy to see if they have any comments. Location and privacy policy is 
a big issue for them.

Regards

Carl
