    This sounds a little half-baked. This is supposed to be a routing
    mechanism, after all.

    Any device can be moved without changing its identity. This is a
    universal problem, and one which is actually more easily solved by using
    routing IDs instead of geographical data. Any change to a device
    location translates to a modification at only the server-side, which
    then re-associates the IDs with the new geographical area.
    
    Maybe some clarification is needed:
    
    - If I want to target EDXL distribution to specific devices that will
    re-route content, what do I use? 
    - Is targetarea restricted to the incident target area only and not the
    routing target area(s)?
    - Does recipient define the viewer of the content, or a device that may
    not be the viewer of the content (Hopefully not both).
