--- Comment #2 from Neil Harris <n...@tonal.clara.co.uk> ---
Notice that this reveals a potential source of problems on input. 

Internationalization of the initials of the cardinal points, without knowledge
of the locale the input is coming from, can make input ambiguous and
locale-dependent: if we receive a coordinate of the form "33 N 22 O", does that
mean the Italian "33 Nord 22 Ovest" = 33 N 22 W, or, in Dutch, "33 Noord 22
Oost" = 33 N 22 E ?
