True, but this probably won't be kept up-to-date and most likely would
be useless for Wikidata users since random very precise data can not be
relied on unless there's a guarantee certain set of data (e.g. all
observatories) have the same accuracy and it is kept up-to-date.
 
Like in all the wiki-world, this should be guaranteed through the reference claim, shouldn't it?
 
I think we should at least limit it to specified precision (not the case
today) but maybe even more in case precision is too high. I don't think
anything beyond 1m is really useful - please provide use cases if you
think otherwise.
 
I can't think of anything really useful right now... What I'm afraid of is creating fake grids like it happened in DBpedia with too much rounding (see [1], p. 44/45). Maybe with 1 m precision it won't happen today, but it might in the future for very POI-dense areas.. (might it?)
