I can live with that. I didn't mean that specifically. Schema-wise, I'd say a point could be a long form <point><latitiude/><longitude/></altitude></point> element, or a short form <point>1.0 2.0 3.0</point>. A line or polygon could then consist of either a series of long form <point> elements or short form points. It would make the spec more complete/consistent and not make parsers that much more complex. In practice, I would suggest anyone use the short form for anything bigger than a triangle, unless they have a very specific case to use the long form (in which case it is useful that the spec supports long form too).
