  • If latitude is present, so MUST be longitude, and vice versa.
  • The secondary classes can be omitted, the two values MUST be separated by a semicolon and latitude MUST be first. This is used with the ABBR design pattern and the title attribute:<abbr class=geo" title="37.386013;-122.082932">Human Readable Text</abbr>
  • The same number of decimal places SHOULD be used in each value.
  • Coordinates use the datum of WGS84.
  • Sources for latitude/ longitude coordinates
