Geometric operations on atoms.

Hello everyone,
There is a potential problem with some of the geometric properties of
atoms in mmCIF, in that related values can possibly become 'uncoupled'
from each other. For example, if a matrix is applied to the coordinates,
the rotational part should also be applied to the standard deviations of
the coordinates, and anisotropic temperature factors and their standard
deviations. I think that there may be scope for defining a subcategory
which could be used to group these items together.
Regards,
Peter.
