This request is for a parameter that restricts results from a video feed to
only those that contain geographic data.

Yeah, it'd be nice to have a geo-restricted and geo-bounded filters.

It would be nice to see I want videos within 1 square kilometer of effiel tower.

This can be done by appending the "location" parameter now.

Like Wikipedia database, we need a table who containt in minimum the url of video, 
and it's latitude and longitude. After, it's possible to make sql spatial search on 
the table.

Look my participation at this thread in geonames.org forum, download the mysql 
wikipedia database and see the readme file:

The documentation for the location parameter states: This parameter does not enable 
you to find videos with a specific geographical location.
