Please do.  In general, abbreviations make bad method and parameter names,
because they're hard to remember.  I know your module wants longitude and
latitude, but is that "lon", "long", or some obscure other abbreviation?

There are cases where the abbreviation for something is so universally
agreed on that this is not a problem, such as "etc." for etcetera, but if
there's any doubt whatsoever, it's safer to go with the full name.  You
lose time in typing but probably save more by not having to look at the
docs all the time.

I'll add this to the DateTime dev standards docs, I think.
