Subject: [Ecrit] "Derived" method: What is the conclusion?

I hear a couple of folks saying that the <method> field probably isn't 
going to be a curtial piece of information to the LR.
It does not harm to set it.

Following strictly what RFC 4119 says it is used to describe how 
location information was determined and obtained. In some cases pointing 
to DHCP or LLDP-MED might be the only thing the end host knows.

Brian can also add a "derived" token to the registry. Does not hurt.

Maybe someone who is going to work on location based applications is 
going to decide what additional decisions they are able to make based on 
the availability of this information.
