WhereWhen with Regions

Appended is more or less the same example I showed with a region
specification added. The region is specified in the AstroCoordArea
element, not the Error part of the coordinate element itself.
I used a polygon.
Errors, btw, may be specified as a circle, rectangular box, or ellipse.
I would suggest still putting an error radius in the Error element to
provide a sensible number for clients who are not interested in the
exact details of the region.
