The day will never come that this will be picked up as a change,
unless you go through the process of pushing this through into the
Android code base yourself (Hint: ain't going to happen either)
What I would do is to read the coords and string, determine if they
fall within an existing range (i.e. on this planet) and contain a non
null value, and go from there. Should be pretty straightforward.
