Still a bad idea, for the same reason: Emacs will display times of solar and 
lunar phenomena that are wrong, but subtly so.  The only default value must be 
nil so that any calculations are trapped.

This is a conundrum: Any value that lets the compilation proceed will 
(necessarily) produce wrong results.  Any value that stops the calculation if 
the latitude/longitude/zone are not set will stop compilation.  Silly.
