Yes, that's the way I do think of it and that's the way I expect 
everybody else to think of it.

But the numbers need to match the residues in any case. ie. the numbers 
need to match the spaces not the tick marks, if the spaces match the 
residues.

The important thing is to have a consistent model, then it's easy to 
explain to users.
