> My question was about why the GeolocationController is per Page rather then per Frame, and if we really asking users "Can foo.com hosted in bar.com use location information?" For example, if a GoogGuys.com page hosts iframe with advertisement from BadGuys.com, and that ad will ask for Geolocation, will user be presented with a dialog that has both GoodGuys.com and BadGuys.com origins?

What happens on Chromium is that the user is presented with an info bar that asks the user to authorise BadGuys.com for Geolocation. The info bar doesn't mention the outer site, but the decision of the user is recorded with respect to the outer site (so, in the preferences page you will see that BadGuys.com inside of GoodGuys.com has been allowed/refused permission).
