Just as a first order pass, I will say that I think the security and
privacy considerations are not sufficient, from my own personal point of
view.  It is one thing to ask for TZ information.  That is highly fuzzed
information and limits the damage an attacker can do.  However, precise
geo-location information is more of an issue.  An attacker can precisely
determine where someone is, and perhaps as importantly where someone is
not.  "Eliot's not at home... let's break in".

I would therefore make two changes:

 1. REQUIRE that TLS be used by clients in these circumstances.
 2. RECOMMEND that clients that have a means to do so provide the
    ability to turn off such retrieval.
