Explain %minlat% etc. #213

Closed sgillies closed 8 years ago

From https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-geojson/ballot/, Suresh Krishnan's comment:

What are %maxlat%, %minlat%, %eastlon%, and %westlon% supposed to be? I am guessing they are max and min values for latitude and longitude (e.g.+/-90 and +/-180) but I think it would be helpful to be explicit here.

I borrowed this notation from RFC 5870 ('geo' URI scheme). I agree more explanation will help and will address this.
