How about this... a little repetitive but I find it clearer.

Original:
:param coordinates: sequence or array
     This may be an object that satisfies the numpy array
     protocol, providing the index's dimension * 2 coordinate
     pairs representing the mink and maxk coordinates in
     each dimension defining the bounds of the query window.

Proposed change:
:param coordinates: sequence or array
     Dimension * 2 coordinate pairs, representing the min
     and max coordinates in each dimension of the item to be
     deleted from the index. Their ordering will depend on the
     index's :attr:`interleaved` data member.
     These are not the coordinates of a space containing the
     item, but those of the item itself. Together with the
     id parameter, they determine which item will be deleted.
     This may be an object that satisfies the numpy array protocol.

The Graphserver project (public transit route planning) is using Rtree 
to find nodes in road and public transit systems that are close to one 
another. I am experimenting with different strategies for deciding which 
street is closest to a transit stop and creating new nodes when necessary.

Thanks again,
