So the lean is towards allowing the client to filter the Atom message, and/or the CAP message. In regards to the location awareness, my current track is to ask the user for
their State, County, and Zip. Then calculate their approximate lat/long from this. Anyone know of an available code library for this? Or maybe a nice google maps tie-in would work.
Is this index format something that will be included with a future spec for CAP? Is it still under development, or good enough to try and implement now?
