In addition, it was assumed that browser would implement an internally managed local origin when needed for high precision. This approach was tested in xj3d.

We decided to not deprecate GeoOrigin because few other browsers implemented an internally managed local origin and the perceived need to allow mashup of arbitrary Geospatial content was less than the need to have high precision in browsers for specific content.
