I was under the impression that the standard was to use lat/lng, rather than long/lat. Is there such a standard thing, or I am generalizing my tiny corner of the bits?

I don't lose sleep over it. I find that it depends on the implementation. I see both. I believe that I use the most common format, in the declared API.

I suspect that "long, lat" is common, because people usually specify "x, y", and they are kind of synonymous.
