>   * Integration / relationship of maps and location with other browser
>     APIs, e.g. geo-video, geolocation API, forms, SVG
>   * crawling, indexing and searching map information
>   * standardized browser elements and APIs
>   * CSS styling of maps and map features
>   * Map feature creation / input forms
>   * federated map services with linking
>   * accessibility of browser maps
>   * privacy of user location information
>   * security of browser-based maps
>

> But mostly, it will be driven by position papers, and what
