Yahoo Geocoding - doesn't provide lat-lon for country

Can't use Yahoo. No way to ask for the country (it replies with the country, but you can't ask for it) so no way to get lat-lon for country.

Woulda been cool though.

Agaric moves on...

Not very useful post (hello, kettle) pointing to Geonames.org

Not clear how it relates to their (not released) approach of using Google when available and Yahoo when not.

No text search for country though-- just code.
