Disambiguate, link, combine?

There is already Altitude, which also is something of a placeholder but with a navigation and engineering focus. See also Bearing (direction).

I'm open to edits, but these certainly should cross-link and possibly merge. Howard C. Berkowitz 21:19, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
