Those coordinates are cruft written long ago, and the Python scripts
do not actually read these.

In the Python interface, the first four atom selections are actually
ignored, and the alignment tensor is specified separately, and usually
you need not be concerned with the pseudo atoms. The table format remains
the same as that read by the old XPLOR RDC terms (dipo and sani) for
backward compatibility.

Like I said the pseudo atom coordinates are not read in, and
axis-orthogonality is maintained by the IVM in the Python scripts.

I hope this clears things up a bit.
