Nobody's business but yours and the people with whom you choose to share 
it. You'll note that this work is coming out of GEOPRIV -- where the 
"PRIV" part of that name stands for "privacy." GEOPRIV has done lots of 
work in making sure that this kind of information ends up only in the 
hands of people you want to have it, and nowhere else (see, e.g., 
draft-ietf-geopriv-common-policy-06).

There are many good use cases in real-time communications that detail 
*why* conveying this kind of information is potentially useful. Going 
into a tutorial on these basic topics seems a bit inappropriate on the 
general list. If you're interested, though, I can point you to a number 
of working group mailing lists where these subjects have been discussed 
thoroughly.
