https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64820 --- Comment #32 from Thiemo Mättig <[email protected]> --- (In reply to JulesWinnfield-hu from comment #31) > why not minute? I'm afraid there is no single perfect solution. Currently I see three ways to parse 47°42'0.00"N, 15°27'0.00"E: 1.) Parse as a number, not a string, ignore all trailing zeros and set the precision to 1/60 (minute). 2.) Parse as a string, not a number, respect all trailing zeros and set the precision to 1/360000 (1/100 of an arcsecond). 3.) This is what's currently happening: First, check the format. It's D°M'S". We know the precision must be 1/3600 or higher for DMS. Now check the seconds. There is no higher precision needed for zero seconds. Ok, stick with 1/3600. Personally I think method 1 would be bad. We may think about switching from method 3 to 2. I'm not sure. I think method 3 is ok. Again, if you think this is an issue that should be resolved then please open a new bug report.
