David Smiley commented on LUCENE-6487:
--------------------------------------

bq. I can propose code if you like, but basically what you do is this: (1) 
compute the inverse magnitude (im), then (2) lat = im * asin(z), (3) lon = 
atan2(y,x).

It'd be great if a GeoPoint could compute this -- after all it takes lat & lon 
parameters.

bq. I can code up all of this stuff if you want to propose a good way to 
deliver it.

Do you mean, how literally should you provide the code?  Whatever you'd like 
(patch, ReviewBoard, GitHub PR).

p.s. I ran a lot more iterations and no errors :-)

> WGS84 compatibility has been requested for geo3d.  This involves working with 
> an ellipsoid rather than a unit sphere.  The general formula for an ellipsoid 
> is:
> x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 + z^2/c^2 = 1
