Subject: [Geopriv] PIDF-LO visualizer displays dynamic and relative locations

The following page is able to display the contents of a PIDF-LO:

  <http://held-location.sourceforge.net/held_js/pidflo.html>

This supports:
 - geodetic shapes (RFC 5491)
 - civic addresses (RFC 5139), with limited geocoding
 - dynamic locations with speed and orientation marked with lines
 - relative locations, overlaid onto a map image

Support for relative locations is very much "pre-specification", but I'll update it as consensus evolves.

Problems that I'm unwilling to invest time to fix:

 - Internet Explorer doesn't work.  It remains the least interoperable browser by far.
 - UI is getting a little cumbersome.  PIDF-LO entry is tricky and the textual summary is clunky.  Displaying multiple forms of location information gets crowded on the map.
