Right, but there are certainly limits for what should be considered
being a hydrogen bond and - correct me if I'm wrong - positioning of
hydrogens via NOE constraints is not rigorous enough to take care of
this question. 
So I feel, I have to include additional restraint to get a good (visual)
local geometry.
