Right now (this changed recently) the spec is silent on infinities as 
opposite to finite coordinates, but I believe a strict reading implies you 
have to do the mathematically correct thing -- that is, just like you have 
to be able to handle huge numbers (1e200), you have to be able to handle 
Infinity.
