I did consider that, but I'm not sure how one could attach the extra
attribute, I also considered "geo-luna" and "geo-mars"; but the meaning
of "geo" is "(planet) Earth", so it's not really appropriate.
How about adding a container around the geo that specifies the planet
(or geoid, if you want to get extra fussy. You can say it defaults to
WSGS-84, which is backwards compatible).
That way you can specify the planet once for a series of co-ordinates.
What you do for highly non-spherical bodies can be deferred, as after
all the IAU now insists that planets are spherical...
