Description

There are three different spatial implementations circulating at the moment, and nobody seems happy with the naming of them. For each implementation strategy, we need both a module name and a descriptive technology name that we can use to distinguish one from the other. I would expect the following people to have an interest in this process: @rmuir, @dsmiley, @mikemccand, etc.
