[OSM-talk] Working with lat and long simply

[john whelan]

The issue isn't that nomination won't handle lat and long it is that you
cannot cut and paste from the xml code.  "lat='45.472891'
lon='-75.4891002'" doesn't work.  You have to know enough or have the
instructions to hand to strip off the unwanted lat= and lon=.

It is currently inconsistent, and that's a problem for those without a PhD
in GIS.  One solution could be a write up in the wiki.
