[Developers] Editing compound values

[brendan]

There are some use cases that are more user-facing. The way we model  
location in the restaurant and architecture data (restaurant-- 
 >mailing_address/location-->geocode) makes editing lat/long data  
awkward in the same way: basically a naive use could never figure it  
out. I have a bug open for this and the design team has bounced some  
ideas around, so it's definitely on the radar.
