Fedimeteo has no location data https://fedimeteo.com/

As a webmentions user, I would like all posts that have location data to have a standard format.

For example:

• Including a hiking route in a formate like KML / standard spec.
• Including a location for a business that is mentioned in a post
• https://microformats.org/wiki/h-geo

Schema.org Place type defines additional granularity for property, e.g. address - https://schema.org/Place

• How does AS2 recommend including detail that extends beyond the AS2 spec like this in a formal way , if at all?
• For example a JSON-LD link from an id property like
  • https://places.pub/way/132605490
  • https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/132605490#map=19/37.771086/-122.412610

Would a JSON-LD id link this be enough to link to a KML document in a formal way?
