This appears to be a more formalized version of the current w3C geo: standard. Which people should also be familiar with since it is widely used. http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: creed@opengeospatial.org Date: Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 11:55 AM Subject: [Tc] Geo URI proposal in draft stage in the IETF To: tc@lists.opengeospatial.org
There is an internet draft that may be of interest to the OGC. I have provided some review and comments but the authors are seeking additional feedback. Feel free to contact the authors directly. There are GML examples in the document.
http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-geopriv-geo-uri-01.txt
This document specifies an Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for geographic locations using the 'geo' scheme name. A 'geo' URI identifies a physical location in a two- or three-dimensional coordinate reference system in a compact, simple, human-readable, and protocol independent way. The default coordinate reference system used is WGS-84.
