i think you're making this /more/ complicated then it needs to be ...
experience with the rules of working with coordinates (regardless of
left or right handiness) is a most basic concept as noted in post from

I second this change...

... and this is information most members of that section's target
audience won't care about.
Remember that there is such a thing as too much information; people need
to be able to digest the package of information we provide them with,
and this section is part of the docs intended for people who aren't
accustomed to heavy meals.
I guess the reference section about rotations would be a more suitable
place to go into technical details.

Right - anyone who deals with chiral spaces learns whatever convention is used
for that system.
There is a "Right-hand rule" for physics (electromagnetism), engineering, math,
architecture, etc.
The left hand rule for POV-ray ought to be just as straightforward.
*** Point the left thumb in the +axis direction, curl the fingers, and that's
the positive direction of rotation. ***
A picture or two may be a nice addition, but I don't think anything needs to be
added to the text or changed.

I was getting a look at the camera 'right' being negative and using a viewpoint
from +z as was mentioned here.
So for any curious people I posted a couple animations showing the difference
from the more typical positive right and -z camera location.

A minor thing that struck me about the page layout:
I see two images in a row with a paragraph of text between them
[Image: LH coord sys] [text about LHS] [Image: Aerobics]
followed by text about rotation / curling / aerobics
The text about LHS refers to positioning left hand fingers
to match coordinate system which is confusing since it is placed
next to the image showing an entirely different hand position.
Maybe as a quick hack it could be rearranged to
[Image: LH coord sys] [text about LHS]
[Image: Aerobics] [text about rotation / curling / aerobics]
It may also lead to a bit more pleasing layout as the narrow
paragraph between two images looks a bit odd to me anyway.
