>As subject says, is anyone actually using these ?
i don't think so. it's still in "experimental" status, and the bind
code has only this to say about it:
include/arpa/nameser.h: ns_t_gpos = 27, /* Geographical position (withdrawn). */
include/arpa/nameser_compat.h:#define T_GPOS ns_t_gpos
lib/resolv/res_debug.c: {ns_t_gpos, "GPOS", "geographical position (withdrawn)"},
so i don't think anyone ever bothered with it at all.

use LOC (rfc1876) instead. it's more or less the same, but with more
info.
