It's wholly inadequate as an approximation for topographic locality within the network graph.
If relativistic latency component is measurable, that is information useful for mutual time of flight triangulation. WGS84 just gives you a convenient hinge to hang your information on.
Uses of geolocation information at layer 3 are similar to uses of the "evil bit."
You're correct. It's for layer 2 strictly.
