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.

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.

Cheers

Carl
