I suspect that it would be difficult to meaningfully interpret the internal
structures and the rotational and positional information used internally by
POV-Ray. You'd need to know the starting point that this information is
relative to, and this may not be easy to determine or what you may expect in
all situations.
What POV-Ray does provide is a series of macros that enable you to apply
transformations to vectors. You can therefore say, "if this is my starting
point, where would it end up when I apply these transformations?". IMO this
is more productive and easier to use.

Does that mean you can't see my response to your first attempt either?
I find that, if stuff doesn't appear, it's helpful to look at the same
newsgroup on http://news.povray.org as a reference, but it still doesn't
guarantee that everyone can see the same things.
