[Vorbis-dev] gps tags in vorbis comments

[Silvia Pfeiffer]

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_(microformat), the geo
microformat in XML is specified either with three classes (Name,
longitude, latitude) or in an integrated way.
Elevation seems to be always separate.

Where longitute and latitude are put together, they are separated by a
semicolon:
e.g. Belvide Reservoir is at <span class="geo">52.686; -2.193</span>.

The current proposal at
http://wiki.xiph.org/VorbisComment#Geo_Location_fields suggests 4
tags:
name
longitude
latitude
elevation

May I suggest to at least put longitude and latitude together in one
tag? I think they don't make much sense separately. And the separator
should be ";" as is being used by other formats.

Just my 2c.

Cheers,
Silvia.
