I agree. If 27.007 bothered to standardize it, the seems like a good
idea to go for it.

Btw. I don't like the term aGPS. Especially GPS. That is actually more
like a product name and not really generic. Especially if you think
about the positioning systems from the European Union or Russia. So I
would like to see something like AssistedPositioning or in that spirit
of it.
