I thought about it extensively quite a number of years ago. I eventually abandoned the idea because I was not convinced that it would make the game more playable. The problem with a coordinate system that I kept running into was that it resulted in a lot of vanilla movement through areas that don't have very interesting descriptions (You are in a forest). In a text-based MUD I couldn't come up with a good way to avoid this. I had some ideas, but like I said, I decided in the end that the game was just as playable with a room-based system.
