Hi, I've been looking at the definition of the "GEO" property in draft-resnick-vcarddav-vcardrev-01. The current specification does not clarify which datum and reference system is to be used for data in the GEO property, which is really bad, and can lead to errors up to several hundred meters (depending on which reference system is used). I'd suggest clarifying that by adding something like "Coordinates used in the GEO property MUST use the WGS 84 datum and reference system". (WGS84 is the most common one, and also used in GPS devices). cheers Alex _______________________________________________ VCARDDAV mailing list VCARDDAV@ietf.org http://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/vcarddav
