Note

Uses of geo can be associated with a coordinate system, defined by a geoDecl element supplied in the TEI header, using the decls attribute. If no such link is made, 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.

Example
<geoDecl xml:id="WGSdatum="WGS84">World Geodetic System</geoDecl>
<geoDecl xml:id="OSdatum="OSGB36">Ordnance Survey</geoDecl>
