I'm not asserting anything of the kind; though it's quite likely that a service such as Google will develop a facility to answer queries like "X within 10 km of Y", or "nearest X to Y". Knowing the locations of X and Y will be more pertinent than assertions of the distance between them. > That you could rely on route calculators for this particular problem does > not address the larger issue of semantic markup of tabular data contained in > web pages. Semantic markup per se is a noble aim; but where is the use-case? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk
