(2) Transformation in LIS: The carrier that wants to hide a location creates a convex location region that has no holes and includes the location of the UA. A very simple way to do this is to return a triangle (square, circle, ...) that includes the caller's location (not in the center) and whose centroid falls into the PSAP service area. This has to be done only once (unless the PSAP boundary changes), so the computational burden is trivial.

Well, that's certainly a creative approach, and complex. And it screws with the caching and periodic requery at the end point. The created shape must fall entirely within service boundary. If any part of it overlaps the service

Not really; caching works just as before. The created shape does *not* have to fall completely within the service boundary, given the centroid computation that determines matching. As per the previous discussion, any non-point shape will need to be transformed to a point (centroid) by the LoST server.

boundary, then there is the potential for a misrouted call. If the created shape falls within the service boundary, it will be less than the area of the service boundary and cause needless requerys by the endpoints, which will believe they may have crossed from one service boundary to another when, in fact, they haven't.

That seems like a lot of extra burden on the system, when we could just add some meta-data to the service boundary and allow LoST servers to do exact matches.

This would not be the service boundary, but it would have to be the <location-info> element, so it would have to be a PIDF-LO extension, which seems rather strange.
