Hi,

I'm noticing the output format for extendedFindNearby is different. I wonder if there are documents or standards in terms of the output that one could expect.

For example for one query I would get <address> within the geonames element
However for another I would get <geoname> within the geonames element.

Here take a look....

http://ws.geonames.org/extendedFindNearby?lat=37.423494&lng=-122.071602

There are three different output formats possible, depending on the location and the information available at this location.
I have added a short description of the service here:
