I prefer your idea because your way a user could just keep entering
coordinate pairs to build up a feature without any need for mouse
clicks. Since docs can be stacked / tabbed it neednt consume a lot of
screen real estate. The disadvantage of your idea is that we would
need to implement the concept of a selected vertex probably...
