I think he wants it to rotate for each ray that is intersected (like orient
area lights).  That way, shadows from a flat object would not look so flat.
To billboard correctly, you'd have to be able to specify an axis of rotation
(you wouldn't want your trees to fully orient, but only orient about the Y
(up) axis).
