maps.google happily accepts all of those (and many others, I’m sure) and brings up that map.

It seems, at best, odd that if I’ve already done the geocoding for you, that you can’t take coordinates and show me that map.  Lots of people have GPS’s these days.

And, of course, the best proof of all – “it works with Google” :)

    Wait, you’re saying some people actually use live.com? :)
