I'm not sure what "precise" means here. Also, floors do get added on 
occasion.

I don't think this is a discussion that is going to get us very far. 
Some people believe that recipients prefer room locations measured in 
geo and in fractional floors, others have their doubts as to the 
practicality of that. Experience will tell and the discussion seems to 
be of interest only to about 4-5 people.

I'd like to avoid needless complexity for the presumably common case 
that both exist and would rather avoid the "mine is better" arguments in 
making decisions on routability. Both need some degree of specificity to 
be routable, down to house numbers for civic and probably at least 100' 
anywhere on the globe for geo (whatever that translates to in terms of 
bits).
