Hi all,

this is going to sound awfully pedantic I think, but I am just trying to clarify the following from the geo specification

If the publisher knows and is publishing the name of the location in addition to its geo lat/long, then the publisher MUST use hCard instead of just geo to publish the name and geo lat/long of the location.

Of course this makes perfect sense with most places - like a hotel, or a human made landmark. But what about "natural" landmarks - like Mt Everest, which have a name, but for which vCard doesn't seem to me appropriate (as it's not "contact information").

I wonder, actually in that context, whether it would make sense to mark up the Eiffel Tower with a vCard, or just geo and/or adr (depending on the use context), as for example in a Tourist guide, is infomation about visiting the landmark "contact" information ("person or white pages type of directory information" - RFC2426 )?

But, I'd very much like people's thoughts

thanks in advance

john
