Summary:
This draft is ready to be published as Informational RFC but I have a few comments.

Nits/editorial comments:
-[page 3] "an prank emergency"--a-->"a prank emergency"
-[page 3] "PSAP"---->"Public-safety answering point (PSAP)" (then remove Public safety answering point from next occurrence of PSAP in text) on the same page.
General comment:
AIP, PIDF, VSP, VESA, VPC and ERDB  please spell out at 'first use'
-[page 5] "one-off basis" ---->"on-off basis" ?
-[page 14] "attacker continue o learn"--typo-->"attacker continue to learn"
-[page 16] "on the Internet"-->"in the Internet"
-[page 19]
" In some countries, regulators may not
   require the authenticated identity of the emergency caller, as is
   true for PSTN-based emergency calls placed from pay phones or SIM-
   less cell phones today.
"
I am not an expert but I doubt today only SIM-less cards can be tracked.

-[page 19]
"Location theft requires the attacker to be in proximity to the location to spoofed,.."
--->"...being spoofed"?

-Reference [TASMANIA] is no longer a valid link

-Although emergency prank calls are probably the most valid use case, can this method be applied to other use cases where location information needs to be
validated? If so it would be good to mention this in the draft, at least briefly.

Best Regards,
Meral
