Well, we haven't done it yet, but when we institute oceans and ships, our
oceans will be coordinate-based, whereas the rest of the world is
room-based. Players will never physically be IN a coordinate, so to speak.
They'll always be on a ship (which will be a set of rooms pointing to a
coordinate). If they go overboard, they will be stuck in an ocean "room",
of which there will be a few (one for each 'sector' of an ocean). Not sure
if this is what you were looking for or not.
