Well, I think we should leave the format alone and just add LAT= and LONG= to the location field.

It's not hard to parse :)

I think LAT/LONG is unambiguous and also gives you the opportunity to be
more precise if you want to. We can keep "location" as a more informal
description though.

I'd just add a LAT/LONG field before the notes one

FWIW, the existing INFO.TXT format already has a "location" field - it's
City
and Country, but you can just geolocate the city center.
