It would be great if the LatLonWidget would have a setNotation method and if inside Marble it would follow Marble settings.

Regarding the Notation: great!
We have some inconsistency with the naming already due to the LatLon naming in the KML spec. So I'm not sure whether it's worth bothering to change existing occurances ... . 

The altitude described refers to the altitude of the camera! So the coordinate is not the coordinate of the object but the coordinate of the observer above the object ... so it's not exactly bogus ... ;-)
