Are you sure about this? I thought that these markers were the authoritive definition (I believe at least in some cases they are), and that the coordinates would have to be adjusted to compensate for phenomenons like plate tectonics. If it weren't like this, wouldn't you have to move your house after a while to remain inside the plot ;-) ? Cheers, Martin
