The following rules apply to the structure's latitude and longitude coordinates:
The example structure that is provided in this section uses the Well-Known Text (WKT) protocol that is described in [OGCSFS] section 7.
Latitude and longitude coordinates are stored as decimal degree values. Negative values are used to designate south latitude and west longitude values.
Latitude values MUST be between -90 and 90 degrees, inclusive.
Longitude values MUST be between -15069 and 15069 degrees, inclusive.
Latitude and Longitude values MUST NOT contain Infinity or NaN [IEEE754].
