Summary
		  This function constructs a geospatial element child index
		  specification.
	  
	  
	  
	
	  
	    | Parameters | 
	  
	
	  
	    | parent-namespace | 
	    
		    The namespace of the parent element for the attribute.
	     | 
	  
	  
	    | parent-localname | 
	    
		    The local name of the parent element for the attribute.
	     | 
	  
	  
	    | namespace | 
	    
	      The namespace URI. Specify an empty string if the
	      element is in no namespace.
       | 
	  
	  
	    | localname | 
	    
	      The local name for the node.
       | 
	  
	  
	    | coordinate-system | 
	    
         The coordinate system.  Must be one of wgs84,
         wgs84/double, etrs89,
         etrs89/double, raw, raw/double.
       | 
	  
	  
	    | range-value-positions | 
	    
	      A boolean specifying whether to maintain value positions
	      in this index (used with co-occurrences).
       | 
	  
	  
	    | point-format | 
	    
	      The point format in the data: "point" means latitude precedes longitude (this is the default);
	      "long-lat-point" means longitude precedes latitude.  To use the default value of
	      "point", simply omit this parameter.  Do not specify an empty string.
       | 
	  
	  
	    | invalid-values | 
	    
        An option to handle values that do not meet the range index type.
        Must be one of: reject (default), ignore.

Example
  xquery version "1.0-ml";
  import module namespace admin = "http://marklogic.com/xdmp/admin"
		  at "/MarkLogic/admin.xqy";
  admin:database-geospatial-element-child-index(
        "/my/namespace",
        "elementname",
	"/my/namespace",
	"child-element",
        "wgs84",
	fn:false() )
  (: returns the geospatial element child index specification :)
