Tangent space parametrization for SE(3)

[koledickarlo]

If i understand the code correctly, quaternions are used as "tangent space" for SE(3) in order to optimize on SE(3) manifold. Could someone explain the reasoning for this decision, as axis-angle parametrization is an actual tangent space parametrization for SE(3)?
