Short question concerning XML:getAirportData

Hi there,

just for me to understand:
What are the data

"la_g", "la_p", "la_s", "la_d",
"lo_g", "lo_p", "lo_s", "lo_d"

for? I guess these are coordinates, but from what exactly ? There is no info about it in the wiki.
What I do know is that "lat" and "lon" are the coordinates of the airport.

The "la_g/_p/_s/_d" values are the coordinates of the airport, but in a different format.
_g = degrees
_p = minutes
_s = seconds
_d = N/S/W/E

and la=latitude / lo=longitude

Why they have these strange postfixes - I actually don't know ;-).
