Your Where In The World link at the top is broken. It's pointing at Feb 16 instead of Feb 15.

Oops. That's what I get for starting an essay on one day and finishing it on the next. Fixing now, thanks.

I'm just curious why your are using hash at the end of namespace URI:

http://nwalsh.com/xmlns/witw-ami#

It is to prevent users to write it with trailing slash which will change URI and namespaces will stop to work? I recall that such syntax was used in RDF and I see it more and more often.

Finding lat and long? http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation is very helpful if you know an ip address of a server nearby! And with your readership Norm, I guess thats likely? HTH DaveP.

The MultiMap (http://www.multimap.com/) server will provide a latitude and longitude for any address.

Shouldn't the service use the person as a resource, not as a service endpoint? Imagine that URI: http://norman.walsh.name/2005/02/witw/location/ndw Now I can GET the location, or POST the location directly onto that resource. Wouldn't that be more RESTful?

Nice comment by Michael Jaki, to further indulge if that was feasible then you could also put in place an ESB container over the top as well as perhaps have the future opportunity to use XPath to query the CoPML file of the URI.
