In the case of coordinates you're going to want to specify the projection so

l:epsg,minx,miny,maxx,maxy oh crap we've done it again and crufted up a
minimalist protocol

--==--

Seriously though I propose ">location" where "location" is a name in your
personal namespace or an absolute coordinate. Locations in other uses's
namespaces are referred to as "@user>home". hash-tags can have namespaces
too so "#wherecamp>cafeteria" means something. Locations for yourself are
read/write, users are read-only, and locations for hashtags are read/write.
You can import locations from other namespaces or from an absolute
coordinate system with "@self>[EMAIL PROTECTED]>location".

To set the meaning of "office" in the namespace "officenomads", import that
location into my own namespace as "work" and then set my location to "work"

#officenomads>office=1617 Boylston Ave,Seattle
@ewedistrict>work=#officenomads>office
>work

This would work too:

#officenomads>office=1617 Boylston Ave,Seattle
>#officenomads>office

Or simply

>1617 Boylston Ave,Seattle

Oh nevermind this is all too silly
