Define API for obtaining geographic bounding box coordinates #37

Open peterwtux opened 10 years ago

We use /boundaries.xml to give clients a bounding box for our jurisdiction. This allows them to quickly identify points that are clearly unacceptable to us, and for which we won't accept service requests. Sample output:

<boundaries> <bottom>37.123</bottom> <left>-79.001</left> <top>38.456</top> <right>-78.678</right> </boundaries>
