Adding a polyline property to Trip or other entity types.

[brrttwrks]

As we are considering modeling a Trip in FtM, the thought occurred to me that, like an Address has a lat/lon, a Trip could/should have a polyline geometry to record not just start and end destinations, but the actual trajectory. I can imagine a number of cases where modeling this might be advantageous. One potential is to document a trip's trajectory - a flight, a vessels path from port to port, the path of a person (timeline?). Another might be to support more interesting UI components if we have map views in Aleph.

I am throwing this out there, but I am sure I am overlooking a number of things that make this more complicated than I am imagining it :).

I'd be a bit careful with randomly committing to support geo features in FtM. Doing so would be a significant (year+) amount of effort and I would be willing to bet a good case of beer that it would make Aleph totally collapse with complexity.
