Note
All uses of geo within a document are required to use the same coordinate system, which is that defined by a geoDecl element supplied in the TEI Header. If no such element is supplied, 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.
