Yes, I suppose that's not a bad idea, though in this case, I guess that would require calling the geocoding function twice -- once for the lon field and once for the lat field (since each field will need its own compute function). Since the function involves a call to Google's servers, that may introduce more delay than you want (though perhaps the function could cache the longitude and latitude, so when the second field's compute function is called, it fetches from the cache instead of hitting Google again).
