There are two different views on that. I prefer to use ZI/VA to tag
the magnitude of displacement from the origin (they are after all
magnitude of displacement tags.) The other view is to use them to tag
the origin, like PU/FAhA. But then you have no easy way of tagging the
magnitude of displacement.
