Question: why are there parentheses around the lat/lon values:

<span class="longitude">5.9388888</span>)
</span>
Since this information is not being displayed (style="display:none"), I
don't see any value for the parentheses (or for the comma).
It's somewhat dangerous to assume elements set to be display:none will
never be seen...
Indeed; the punctuation is there so that the coordinates will make sense
if CSS is disabled/ unavailable/ overridden (the latter might be the
case if a user prefers a decimal display, rather than DMS, for
instance).
