Maybe `Coordinates` is a bad idea entirely and we should only use "free form

Why not do this in two steps. Use the "free form properties" now for the first
implementation. Later, after integration of Hibernate Spatial in Hibernate Core, you could
bring in explicit spatial types (Coordinates, Points or others). In that way we can make
sure that the use of spatial types and concepts are at least consistent between HSearch
and HSpatial.
Btw, I was thinking of adding to geolatte-geom (my JTS alternative) explicit classes for
geographic geometries.
