Hello all,

The latest attempt to find an acceptable definition for geospatial_bounds:

“”"
Describes geospatial extent using geometric objects (2D or 3D) specified
in the Well-Known Text (WKT) format. geospatial_bounds points are always
space-separated longitude (decimal degrees_east), latitude (decimal
degrees_north), and, for 3D objects, altitude (meters, up). Note that the
geometric object is not associated with any coordinate reference system
and that longitude values are not solely restricted to the [-180, 180]
range. Example: "POLYGON((-86.77 1.38, -94.05 2.59, -98.62 3.16, -106.44
4.03, -106.11 2.23, -98.93 1.75, -94.37 1.18, -87.82 -0.22, -86.77 1.38))”.

“”"
