That's theoretically true. It's also probably not going to be a problem for values like "latitude" and "longitude" since they already come to the markup world with standardized meaning. An advantage of using the class attribute for the semantics is that it can be implemented today, right now if you want. See, for example: http://microformats.org/wiki/geo Do you want faster or better? :) -Ed.
