Is there a way to specify the accuracy of latitude/longitude? Some information (such as data used for street maps) would obviously have to be as accurate as possible but there would be other cases where it would be useful to just be able specify that something is in a certain city and easily work out an approximate distance from another city.
I think it would be good to have a way to distinguish something that is accurate enough to display a street map from something that is only accurate enough to tell you what city or country something is in. I don't think the character of the resource being described is enough. eg: If its for a venue for an event and I know its in a certain city but I don't know the coordinates down to street address level it could sometimes still be useful to calculate an approximate travel distance from another city even though the available coordinates are not accurate enough be used to show a street map of the actual address. What if I want to be able to show a street map only if the coordinates are accurate enough? There would also be plenty of other similar situations such as someone just wanting to mark up what city or country they live in without telling the world their actual home address compared to a business or shop wanting to mark up their location accurately so that people can easily find their office/shop on a street map. _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
