Maybe we should change the name then?  ActiveDOMObject seems like the best way to get notifications about a ScriptExecutionContext's state changing.  (IDBRequest is another example of an object that inherits from ActiveDOMObject for the same reason.)

> I think that a better way to fix this would be to factor out "request" objects associated with Geolocation object, and make them reference Geolocation. That way, the design would be closer XMLHttpRequest, and being similar to existing active objects can't do you any harm.

Could you explain further what you're proposing?  I don't really understand (or know much about how XMLHttpRequest works).
