Thanks Sean. This is an interesting tangential point. I wanted this
field so that tools can use it, which implies some engineering upon
those tools. That's really the reason why I asked here first - I didn't
want myself or anybody else to have to go and rewrite some code they've
just written if we change our minds here about where the location should
be - as it seems is happening.

Hope that helps.
