- Pure water graticules have been pretty much ignored so far, but that's not to say that someone might not ocean geohash in the future. An ocean graticule naming scheme is definitely beyond the scope of the "creating a graticule" page so I won't expand on that here. I'll remove the suggestion to link to the ocean, just in case a lot of people doing that made trouble later. -Robyn 01:36, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
