Subject: Supplying coordinates information - dashes or hyphen aacr2 vs rda

I have always separated latitudes and longitudes with two dashes --
in the 255
(E 22°--E 107°/N 75°--N 32°)
RDA on 7.4.2.3 Recording Longitude and Latitude
Separate the west and east coordinates with a *_hyphen_*and the north
and south coordinates with a hyphen. Do not use a space before or after
the hyphen. Separate the set of longitude coordinates from the set of
latitude coordinates by using a diagonal slash, with no space before or
after the slash.
Did this change?
