and yes I will use those too, where appropriate..
but to get an idea of how far something is from something else I
would need to use lat/long coordinates.
(and of course anything that shows a map would need that too)
Two things:
1. Actually, you don't need to have lat/long to get distance. There
are plenty of services for translating human readable addresses into
machine readable values.
2. Remember, lat/long is not human first. Lat/long is for machines.
Few people use them (remember, us geeks are exceptional). In most
cases people author with human readable location information, they
only use lat/long to make the machines happy.
