The very crude way is to pull in the poi into JOSM then save the .osm file and bring it up in something like notepad++.
lat='45.472891' lon='-75.4891002' Do we need all the digits for a a reasonable amount of accuracy? It certainly looks like a fairly simple JOSM plug in could be built that could display or drop something into a cut and paste style window. I think I'd prefer some sort of check digit though to catch transpositions.
