I do not think that full POOMA support for using different coordinate
systems was ever implemented.  (Will someone please correct me if I am
wrong?)

docs/tut-07.html describes using meshes, centerings, geometries, and
fields, but the new Field implementation might have made some of this
out-of-date.
