it isn't really about that, it is about providing less broken location 
data to applications that ask for it. The current situation is that if 
an application requests location data it gets given random coordinates 
of somewhere you may have been to in the last week or so. Then it thinks 
about refreshing the location and refining it over the next few minutes 
or so if the application is one that asks where you are again and again. 
If it could take a peek at the satellites every so often then it would 
enable several additional classes of application and would be less 
broken for things that only ask once.
