Section 7.1 says:
Each tree can map a location described by either civic or geographic coordinates, but not both, for one type of service (such as 'sos.police', 'sos.fire' or 'counseling') and one location profile, although nothing prevents re-using the same servers for multiple, different services or both types of coordinates. The collection of all trees for one service and location profile is known as a forest.
It should say:
Each tree can map a location described by civic and/or geographic coordinates, for one type of service (such as 'sos.police', 'sos.fire' or 'counseling'), although nothing prevents re-using the same servers for multiple, different services. The collection of all trees for one service is known as a forest.
Notes:
Trees may have mapping data in multiple location profiles, not only in a single profile. In particular, according to RFC 5222, a LoST server must understand civic and geographic coordinates. Furthermore, there is no mechanism to discover LoST servers based on the location profile.
