Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Instant messaging servers have an enormous infrastructure for routing and querying messages. However, very few of them support the necessary message types for complex (involving more than a single coordinate) geographical/spatio-temporal data. One of the examples in the space is WhatsApp's ongoing location share.
Describe the solution you'd like
A new message type can be used to describe this feature.
Endpoints and data structures: TODO
Describe alternatives you've considered
Adding the attribute into existing message types.
Additional context
Can also be useful for IoT applications.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, and leaves the endpoints and data structures as TODO. Start by locating the server's existing message-type and query-system definitions; the work is complete only when the geographical/spatio-temporal message type, endpoints, and data structures are specified and implemented.
