This falls in the uncanny valley between pedantic
correctness and ease
of use. On one hand, most users would find the degree sign too hard to
type: and on the other, if you are going to insist on using the degree
sign, why not also the appropriate punctuation marks for minutes and
seconds?
I'll leave the policy discussions for the people who actually
implement it, if and when that happens. There's not much point in
arguing about a fantasy.
