- Coordinates use the datum of WGS84.
- If latitude is present, so MUST be longitude, and vice versa.
- Coordinates MAY be combined a single <abbr> element; then the latitude and longitude MUST be separated by a semicolon in the title attribute and latitude MUST be first:
<abbr class="geo" title="37.386013;-122.082932">home</abbr>
- Best practice is that the same number of decimal places SHOULD be used in each value, with trailing zeroes if applicable.
- Sources for latitude/ longitude coordinates
