Good point. My logger filters such LAC/CID with 0000 value. But the 
locator may need sth this way. Or perhaps a DBus signal, upon serving 
value changes.

Another idea is to keep an history of the values. This way, you may 
increase accuracy even without neighbour cells (not available on every 
phone).
