Note | All uses of geo within a document are required to use
the same coordinate system, which is that defined by a
geoDecl element supplied in the TEI Header. If no such
element is supplied, the assumption is that the content of each
geo element will be a pair of numbers separated by
whitespace, to be interpreted as latitude followed by longitude
according to the World Geodetic System. |
