I have in the past considered that putting these kinds of records in for
anycast nodes (such as, but not limited to root DNS servers), so that a person
can glean how far they are from the node serving them (gleaned via
hostname.bind or NSID), would be useful and fun science, in that in this way

I know one of my users found them quite amusing. I can't recall what
location they picked or why, but it had some sort of personal

I remember adding LOC records for fun?() in the previous millennium when
RFC 1876 was fresh out of the press. But even
Fun is a sufficient reason.
Definitely.
IATA airport codes to LOC:
% dig +short CDG.air.jpmens.net LOC
49 0 46.073 N 2 33 0.000 E 119.00m 1m 1m 10m
and more fun with an associated TXT:

Which problems do LOC solve?
I remember adding LOC records for fun?()

In my case, I do split-horizon for my domain in-house and use RFC-1918

I have separate LOC records for in-house and external views. The
in-house version is high precision.

I've had some Apple devices get seriously confused by their location services
and I'm trying to provide strong hints.
It would also be nice to prime WiFi 6 Certified WAPs with their locations based
on LO
