It's actually quite pleasant to use and allows you to just truncate to the level of precision you want. S/He just posted the 1m resolution string when 18-SU-J-216-044 would get you to 100m.
All this said, I think the real issue is that we refuse to PICK a standard and so every device with a GPS and ever map has one or two of
-MGRS
-UTM (almost identical to MGRS)
-LL DD MM' SS.ss"
-LL DD.dddd...
-LL DD MM.mmmm...'
etc.
If you make a device that can output or accept a location string, make sure it can handle all LL cases and UTM/MGRS.
