WIFI broadcast frames

I was just wondering if anyone has done this.

I've been searching the net for a WIFI frame broadcaster and have only run across "rfakeap, a program that emulates IEEE 802.11 access points thanks to wireless raw injection."

It looks like a good start but, what I'd like to do is add GPS to the wifi beacon. Maybe just put another SSID out like

POS?I=MRDVT92;P=38.8659,-77.1087 #The SSID must be no more than 32 bytes but should we stick to that particular frame broadcast?

POS is the key for position report
? is the key separator (like query string)
I is the ID of the device (we have MAC as well?)
P is position in Lat, Lon WGS-84

The first few characters could be registered to provide for consistent data decoders.

Like INFO?L=EN;I=Times_Square_is_bright.

FILE?I=FF:N=times_square.jpg;S=999;
FILE?I=FF;MD5=681d944d51ee5f3be6cf50a1418a093d
FILE?I=FF;S=1;D=base64encodeddata
FILE?I=FF;S=2;D=base64encodeddata

Let me know what you think?
