A while ago it was brainstormed that we allow a single text string to contain a geo lat long coordinate:
<http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-brainstorming#latitude_longitude_shortha nd> To date there are now several examples in the wild using that syntax successfully in their content, as well as implementation experience parsing it (notably, Operator, per mkaply in IRC today). In short, it appears we have enough successful experience with this syntactic addition to "geo" (and hence hCard) to justify moving it from brainstorming into the geo and hCard specs themselves. Note that no new semantics (properties or values) are being introduced. Anybody out there have any real world examples of problems or issues with this addition? (i.e. pages where you tried to add it and it didn't work or caused problems, or implementations which tried to parse it but had problems) In addition - any general opinions or thoughts on the "latitude longitude shorthand"?
