That's what I suspected too - blasted graphics conventions get everywhere, even when there are standard conventions in the mapping world.
It's a problem we need to get over. A better written API with a well defined set of variables would have been the best approach... It's a lot easier to attach a value to a name, than deliver a list to a name.
Of course, map coordinates are completely unambiguous if you attach the appropriate compass direction (N/S or E/W) to them. One of the few places where strong typing is a win.
