In principle, I think geolocation should be restricted to
authenticated origins. Unfortunately, it might be too late
compatibility-wise to do that at this point. Also, since the
geolocation responses are easily proxied over postMessage, I think the
potential for wind is less than with gUM, whose response is a special
kind of object that doesn't travel (I hope!) over postMessage.
Google Maps and Yahoo Maps use HTTPS, but MapQuest and Bing Maps use
HTTP. Before we could restrict geolocation to authenticated origins, we
would need to convince Microsoft and MapQuest to use HTTPS (or whitelist
their sites).
