[Proj] Understanding deformation model usage

[stevejking]

Kristian,
Yes, that makes sense to me now. But that means those ETRF00 velocities
(with a slight adjustment of position for epoch 2010.00 to 2000.00 should
come close to the realigned NKG velocity grids you have?
 
But although the z is reasonable, the xy don't look so good. Is it possible
the velocity components have accidentally been transformed (ie. grid values
treated as heights in gdalwarp GDAL 2.2.1 and above)?

I've transformed the Cartesian EPN Stations ETRF00 to long lats at epoch
2000.00 here
