[BlueBream] Attribute Annotation

[Justin Ryan]

FWIW, when I put the lat/long schema fields onto IGeoLocation, and
changed all adaptions from IGeoCodedLocation to IGeoLocation, which of
course the object already implemented, everything worked.

There are some details in here where, I set the form up with two
schemas, but the IGeoLocation adaption was just the original object.

If what I'm doing is crazy, I'd appreciate any input, and be happy to
help impart that wisdom into the BB docs.
