Comment (by whiteaker):
Hi David. What's the motivation for having `y` paired with `lat`? In
other words, how might the ambiguity hurt us? `node_coordinates` and
`coordinates` are two distinct representations of the feature's geometry,
and they would be interpreted independently of each other. For a polygon,
`coordinates` would represent a point while `node_coordinates` would
represent a polygon, so you'd be pairing all the y-coordinates from a
polygon with a single latitude value.
Thanks,
Tim
