I was afraid that Alex would notice :)

The concern here is about privacy, since the geo URI scheme doesn't  
include GEOPRIV-like rules.  In fact, the privacy part of RFC 5870 has  
the following text:
"
However, if a 'geo' URI is used in a context where it identifies the  
location of a Target, it becomes part of a Location Object and is  
therefore subject to GEOPRIV rules. Therefore, when 'geo' URIs are put  
into such contexts, the privacy requirements of RFC 3693 MUST be met.
"

So in order to use a geo URI in SIP, we would need to do something  
about privacy rules.  The only easy approach that occurs to me is to  
specify fixed rules that come along with putting a GEO URI in a  
Geolocation header.  Suggested text:
"
Including a "geo:" URI in a Geolocation header associates that  
location with the entity that originated the SIP message, making it in  
effect a Location Object in the terms of RFC 3693. In particular,  
there is a need for such location objects to have privacy rules that  
accompany the object.  A "geo:" URI in a Geolocation header is  
assigned a default set of privacy rules, equivalent to the default  
rules in RFC 4119:
   o retransmission-allowed: false
   o retention-expires: 24 hours from time of transmission
   o ruleset-reference: null
   o note-well: null
"
