[Esip-documentation] Geospatial Bounds

[David Neufeld - NOAA Affiliate via Esip-documentation]

Hi All,

Based on some off list discussion, here is a new proposed definition for

geospatial_bounds:

Describes geospatial extent using geometric objects (2D or 3D) defined by
the Well-Known Text (WKT) format.  geospatial_bounds values are always
longitude (decimal degrees_east), latitude (decimal degrees_north), and
optionally altitude (meters, up).  Like the  geospatial_lon/lat_min/max
attributes, these may be approximate values.  Example: POLYGON ((-71.29
40.26, -70.79 41.26, -70.29 41.26, -70.79 40.26, -71.29 40.26))
