Thanks Sarven, you raised some good questions - I've followed up on
the wiki as well.

In general we should seek to make content more visible when possible.

But that's not the exact comparison of the renderings, leaving out the
key difference, the labels:

lat:45.5140800; long:-73.6111000

which is then more readable/listenable/understandable than a pair of
semicolon separated numbers. it may not be perfect, but it is an
improvement.

Thanks,

Tantek
