The requester could optionally ask for
* a freshness of the localization information by providing a `maxAge` ("I want a location not older than 600 seconds").
* an accuracy of the localization information by providing a `maxSurface` ("I want a location not larger than 1000000 square meters").


The result accuracy depends on the network's ability and accuracy to locate the device.

I'd like to propose a minor rewording here, and fixing some typos:
API implementation could specify the minimum acceptable maxSurface in the documentation (for example a minimum of 10000 square meters are allowed).

* If the system is not able to provide an area with a surface acceptable with the client request, an error 422 with code LOCATION_RETRIEVAL.UNABLE_TO_FULFILL_MAX_SURFACE is sent back.
* Note: if both `maxAge` and `maxSurface` requirements fail, the system can either send back one or the other error code.

Not sure what would be realistically the minimum that a "best" implemention may provide, but likely above 100 m2. We may set 1 here and let implementations provide the minimum supported separately.

As we allow a min radius of 1 probably we cannot have a min of 100m2. Probably good to add an note indicating that implementations will provide minimum.

If the calculated area violates both age and surface conditions, is the implementer free to choose which 422 code to return ?
As an implementation note, we could recommend to check the age condition first because area comparison can require more computation than age comparison.

Good point. I've added a note: if both maxAge and maxSurface requirements fail, the system can either send back one or the other error code.

I agree on your recommendation but not sure if we have to add in the yaml as it is more for the system than the client.
