Without commenting on the truthfulness of the statement, the above  
syntax says the opposite: that "Rayenda, Bangladesh" is an  
abbreviation of "+22.31119;+89.86145."  The title attribute is the  
long form, not the abbreviation.  I don't know if this is just  
careless language or actual confusion, but this has come up multiple  
times and I think it's important we're all clear on what the markup  
asserts if we're going to have a discussion about the truthfulness of  
that assertion.

Peace,
Scott
