My idea is:
- Geolocation can be a tiny object that implements the API (similar to Navigator);
- it won't be "active" in any way;
- whenever a request for position is made (either one shot or repeating), an object to handle this request is created. In fact, it will be similar to DOMTimer even more than to XMLHttpRequest;
- these request objects are ActiveDOMObjects. Like DOMTimers, they are not directly exposed to JS;
- I'm not really sure who should track granted permissions. Logically, it sounds like this is a job for SecurityOrigin.

Does this make sense? I think that the similarity to DOMTimer is very close - even down to watchers being represented as long IDs, like timers created with setInterval() are.
