Does anybody use LOC records? The GeoIP country database should be plenty 
accurate for this and requires no external support or participation. 

I see no advantage to implement a LOC record lookup, programmatically figuring 
out country/continent a host is from off coordinates alone is not as simple as 
passing an IP to the GeoIP API.

Cheers,
