Re: [Tzdist-bis] draft-tzdist-geolocate tz associated to the point

Hi,

Of course, taken the example of the draft here is the response:

When the client is located in America/New_York the suggestion was
to indicate that America/New_York is the time zone associated to
the location of the point (coordinates provided in the request with
uncertainty set to 0 ) while America/Toronto is the zone in the
50m neighborhood. The response could be for example as follows:

   >> Request <<

   GET /tzdist/zones?location=geo:43.0799,-79.0747;u=50 HTTP/1.1
   Host: tz.example.com
 >> Response <<

         ],

         "Is-geoloc-coordinates" : True // tz corresponding to
geo:43.0799,-79.0747

       },
       {
         "tzid": "America/Toronto",
         "etag": "3297806-1510059107",
         "last-modified": "2017-11-07T12:51:47Z",
         "publisher": "IANA Time Zone Database",
         "version": "2017c",
         "aliases": [
           "America/Montreal",
           "Canada/Eastern"
         ],
         "Is-geoloc-coordinates" : False // tz corresponding to the neighborhood
       }
     ]
   }

The discussion should be whether we believe that is useful and maybe
how to tag the parameter.

Yours,

Daniel
