Which start, end coordinates to use? #122

Aims/objectives.

How exactly should we handle start, end coordinates? Now we implicitly assume that start=thick_start, and end=thick_end, and only use start and end e.g. in displaying Search and Comparison results, etc. For bedtools-like operations, only BED6 fields are considered for calculating intersections, etc. But generally, start and end may be used to report context.

A clear and concise description of todo items.

We need to think carefully how this eventually integrates with "RNA processing data".
