Right I edited those fast, will fix.

See XEP-0060, it's pretty straightforward. We're encouraging use of PEP 
for this stuff, as discussed here:

No no no. PEP is a step on the road to full pubsub, or a flavor of 
pubsub if you will. It's fine to geoloc in a full pubsub implementation 
if you have one, especially for non-human entities (tracking packages 
via XMPP anyone?). But for human users, PEP is the friendly flavor of 
pubsub that we're encouraging people to use.
