Absolutely.

Thanks. I had some posts on this same issue a while ago; I'll try to figure out where they were.
Google aside, this stuff needs cleaning up. For example, it's not at all uncommon to have a {{coor title d}} saying one thing at the top of the page, and another {{coor dms}} in-line in the article text, with slightly (or significantly) different coordinates.
If we can figure out a better scheme, I'm definitely up for some creative bot work to implement the migration.
