Indeed I thought about extending the properties view by adding two 
"special" properties lat and lon which cannot be deleted nor the key 
modified, just changes in the value are allowed. And while we're at it 
we could also add "timestamp", "user" and "version" as read-only 
properties. - Maybe add them at the bottom of the list so that for those 
who have limited space available, they don't use up that prime space.
