How should the observable schema handle elevation? #28

Some of our data has elevation. Where should elevation go in the observable schema?

Check out http://wiki.geojson.org/RFC-2. This states that "The order of elements follows x, y, z order (or longitude, latitude, elevation for coordinates in decimal degrees)."

Does this seem correct? Will mongo geojson support this or be confused by this?

Looks like mongo doesn't support it: https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2013/03/mongodb-geospatial-indexing-search-geojson-point-linestring-polygon/ and https://jira.mongodb.org/plugins/servlet/mobile#issue/SERVER-9220 So we'll have to stick it in a property I guess.
