We have several discussions on making a coordinate mandatory under location, for example a centroid without a coordinate does not make sense. Considering GML is the standard for exchanging coordinates within XML. NeTEx introduced multiple (more than two) different ways to send coordinates across. My suggestion would be to deprecate direct Wgs84 elements such as Longitude and Latitude in favor to a required gml:pos. This again kills a variant of doing the same.
The change for producers would be te add <gml:pos srsName="EPSG:4326">latitude longitude</gml:pos>. Consumers can remove the code paths for handlng either gml:pos or Wgs84.
