Mainly, it uses non-breaking spaces between the coordinates instead of breaking spaces. If you just type (x, y, z), it could possibly insert a line break in the middle of the coordinates. Using this template (or manually typing  , which is a pain) ensures that the coordinates are all on the same line. --TonyV 08:18, 25 July 2007 (EDT)
