> The SpatialStrategy.makeQuery() at the moment uses the distance as the score
> (although some strategies -- TwoDoubles if I recall might not do anything
> which would be a bug). The distance is a poor value to use as the score
> because the score should be related to relevancy, and the distance itself is
> inversely related to that. A score of 1/distance would be nice. Another
> alternative is earthCircumference/2 - distance, although I like 1/distance
> better. Maybe use a different constant than 1.
> Credit: this is Chris Male's idea.
