Why should the apps have to support it? The location service need only supply 
data according to the gypsy protocol to have most existing apps 'just work.' 
Apps using gpsd will be taken care of by fso-gpsd. It really shouldn't matter 
to the apps that the data came from something other than a gps unit, be it 
cell tower, wifi, bluetooth or the magic location pixie.
