Factory class proposed by whom and for what?

If it's a thing that creates IPositionReceivers, it should return an
IPositionReceiver and take some description of where the position data is
coming from.  The existing analogue is IProtocolFactory.buildProtocol, which
is takes an IP address.  I assume that the "address" object in GPS's case is
something that identifies the capabilities of the
position-information-providing widget and its type (GPS, skyhook, tower
triangulation, etc).

Second question: what should NMEASentence attributes look like?

By "trunk" I hope you mean "not trunk, the branch".  Maybe you meant HEAD?

Also, progress report:

Great!

... "in the branch" at the usual place ;-).
