report on behalf of the Swift XRT team:

Ground processing of Photon Counting mode data from 3 epochs (roughly 3600 
- 10,000 s post-burst) gives the following refined Swift XRT afterglow 
position for GRB 050219b:

RA(J2000) = 05:25:15.3
Dec(J2000) = -57:45:09.2

The estimated uncertainty in this position is 6.3 arcseconds.
