Re: Property "rotate"

I for one dread the idea of 3D browsing. Usability studies have shown
that users do not function better in 3D space than they do in 2D
space. This my partially be because information is not 3-dimentional,
it is N-dimentional.

So let's stick to the realm of 2D since that's all our displays are
best at and leave the realm of 3D to video games.
