Should they be?

I ran into this issue when ingesting a shapefile which used UTM coordinates. The bounds that are maintained in BoundingBoxDataStatistics are in UTM coordinates and not lat/lon. This caused a bit of grief for me when trying to ingest some of the mapnik-provided shapefiles. I think it would be preferable if the coordinate systems used to store data and statistics matched. It just seems weird to always return coordinates as lat/lon when doing a query, but returning native coordinates when hitting up statistics.
