I've analyzed Wikipedia's HTML code for representing geographical coordinates. The current code is verbose and does not support the Geo microformat correctly. Three alternatives, differing on functionality and code size, are suggested as replacements:
http://www.princexml.com/howcome/2009/wikipedia/geo/ Alternative 1, which is comptible with Wikipedia's current syntax for personalized presentation, reduces the number of elements from 14 to 10. Alternative 2, which uses CSS generated content to achieve personalized presentations, reduces the number of elments from 14 to 5 and the code size from 798 to 248 bytes.
