While reading through this ID: A Uniform Resource Identifier for Geographic Locations ('geo' URI), I found several minor issues. Section 2. Introduction [use of WGS84 reference system] I wonder if it might be more forward thinking to allow for the optional specification of the reference system being used. Perhaps this could be one of the "URI parameters" mentioned in section 4.7 Section 4.4.1 Component Description The number of decimal places indicates the precision of the value. One degree equals 111.319,45m at the equator (40.075,004km / 360 degree). Five decimal places (0.00001 degree) seem to imply a for civil use sufficient accuracy. To my American eye the decimal notation (partially) used here was jaring. Searching (briefly) for some sort of presentation standard in an RFC or other technical document was unsuccessful. Is the use of "." and "," standardized in the representation of real numbers in RFCs? Section 6. GML Mappings There seems to be no explanation of what GML is, not even a Reference document. Section 9.1. Invalid Locations Is there a recommended way to represent the poles? Dare I suggest <geo:90> and <geo:-90>? If that is too much of a special case, should the longitude always be zero or can it be anything between -180.00000 and 180.00000? Section 9.2.
