Probably a daft question, but why are the default long/lat set as
#define DATE_DEFAULT_LATITUDE "31.7667"
#define DATE_DEFAULT_LONGITUDE "35.2333"
?
Looks like the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

The C-Algorithm was written by Moshe Doron and the coordinates point to

You obviously haven't seen this map:

yeah, i was surprised by this as well... but for bc reasons I had to
keep it in the reimplementation of the date stuff. Might kick it out in
PHP 6 :)

Actually it seems to be near Yerushalayim (Jerusalem?), Israel which
