Re: RotationRate name

> shouldn't RotationRate be named AngularVelocity
One reason for this choice of name is that an angular velocity is
usually expressed as a cartesian vector describing the axis of
rotation. What we have is not really a vector but a set of rates of
change of the orientation angles.

In any case, it sounds like we're happy to stick with the current name
and units.
