Hi Konrad,

Hmmm, so what would you propose to do?

Yes, the example probably was not very well chosen. Internally, all four points in the literal are stored separately, so it should be no problem to publish them in a more machine-understandable fashion.

From the point of view of the geosemweb community: How would you prefer to have this data represented?
Thanks,
Lars
