The W3C has an RDF representation of GEO coordinates and even though
there is an ALTITUDE component, it is rarely used! Even google Earth
defaults the ALTITUDE to the land height at a given lat/lon

We don't know the land height though. Several people are already
publishing
waypoints with altitude information, as, for example, here:
http://gpsnepal.com/waypoint.php?trek=everest
Note how he specifies that the altitude is given in meters? Others
publish the
altitude in feet. So it's not what I THINK, it's what is ACTUALLY
being published.
