Addition of a what3words field #272

Proposer

imin on behalf of Nordic Walking

Use Case

All of the Nordic Walking locations should have a W3W location tag, so it would be handy to include this in the data as its own field.

Why is this not covered by existing properties?

At present, it is being added to meetingPoint, but it would be handy as its own field so data consumers can easily build it into their UI.

Proposal

beta:what3wordsLocation

Example

"beta:what3wordsLocation": "mile.crazy.shade"

I'm surprised this isn't part of the schema.org spec for location, but it would definitely be a good addition to an Event.

I think this would be useful as an addition to the geo:lat/lng but would always prefer to use actual coordinates so as not to be tied to any one system.
