Subject: Re: [emergency] Groups - CAP 1.1 Subcommittee Draft (CAP_1.1-draft_1-4-05) uploaded
Still seems to me that the following is clearer
and more precise (Section 3.3.1):
Latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere and longitudes in the
Western Hemisphere are signed negative with a leading dash.
(as opposed to 'Coordinates in the Southern and Western Hemispheres
...')
A similar sentence has been added to Section 1.5, it would benefit from
the same language.
