I'd like to see all of the Geo/Location stuff move out of core and into
a plugin.

The post_lat_lon fieldset could be emitted on the 'edit-form-advanced'
action.  The plugin could create an Options->Location page for twiddling
the options.  The Geo options in Options->Misc would then go away.

I'd like to get the plugin architecture to the point where this is easy.
add_option_page(), options-header.php, and options-footer.php would get
us closer.

So, I say replace the current Geo stuff living in the core with a plugin
version of Kitty's Location Manager.  We could make it the test case for
adding admin UI via plugins.
