+Why use it?
+-----------
+
+There are heaps of server sides libs that wraps geonames services.
+Many web-projects use these libs and make their web pages do a

+against the geonames services. This is really not necessary, use the
+geonames service directly from the users browser, and avoid superflous
+latency!
