Sarven thanks very much for documenting that on the wiki - that page
is a good place to capture existing publishing patterns regarding geo
information.

Yes that's right. The "examples-in-wild" pages are for documenting
uses of existing microformats on real world web pages.

One quick bit of feedback on this thread (which I'll also note on the
wiki next to the examples added) - use of the title attribute for
semicolon separated lat-long may not be the user-friendliest thing to
do.

Given microformats experience with various uses of the the title
attribute - a good rule of thumb is to check to make sure that the
content you are putting into the title attribute is both reasonably
human readable and listenable.

Thanks,

Tantek
