Comment:

 If it's lat/lon, it should be lat/lon or perhaps east/north. Or is it
 north/east? :-)

 As living with a projection (RT90) where the northing is denoted by 'X'
 and easting by 'Y' I vote against using X/Y. Its confusing.

 Better change to north/east in my opinion, but we're in string freeze so..

 I set this is an enhancement, I don't think it's a bug really.
