Sounds good. We also have a problem on en.Wikipedia (and presumably
elsewhere) of inconsistency in template parameter naming ("latitude",
"lat" and "latd" all mean the same thing, for example). Some templates
even have to support multiple versions, for backwards compatibility.

If as part of this exercise we could resolve that, it would be a
bonus. Though I expect some resistance form those allergic to
change...
