The KML standards, which are used by the geocode response, were invented 
by programmers rather than cartographers. Computer programmers 
conventionally think of points as being expressed as (x,y) rather than 
(y,x).

[Google Maps v1 also used GPoint(x,y) for geographic locations, but that 
proved to be so confusing that they switched to GLatLng(lat,lng) in v2. 
It's not so easy to rewrite the KML standards.]
