[NUUG fiksgatami] Misleading / incorrect northing/easting values from mapit /geometry

I asked for feedback on mapit.nuug.no functionallity from the
Norwegian OSM community, and one noticed the confusing (min|max)_(n|e)
settings in the geometry output from
<URL: http://mapit.nuug.no/area/534/geometry >:

{
    "area": 0.12530137492498541,
    "centre_e": 10.511802827579958,
    "centre_lat": 60.432542470914548,
    "centre_lon": 10.511802827579958,
    "centre_n": 60.432542470914548,
    "debug_db_queries": ...,
    "max_e": 10.93330290000001,
    "max_lat": 60.567384600000054,
    "max_lon": 10.93330290000001,
    "max_n": 60.567384600000054,
    "min_e": 10.121446800000008,
    "min_lat": 60.31482170000006,
    "min_lon": 10.121446800000008
    "min_n": 60.31482170000006,
    "parts": 1,
}

I assume this is leftovers from nothing/easting, right?  Perhaps
better to remove these when using GPS coordinates, given that the
values are not northing/easting.

I assume these confusing/wrong values are not relevant for the
Norwegian fixmystreet instance, and thus do not want to pay to change
this, but also thought it best to let you know about the issue.

Happy hacking,
