[CF-metadata] Platform Heave

Jonathan,

Two out of three of Nan's "most intuitive" rotations (pitch and yaw) are
clockwise rather than anticlockwise if the unit vectors are X-fore,
Y-port, and Z-up, which form a right-hand coordinate system. This is
part of why you will see examples where the unit vectors are defined as
X-fore, Y-starboard, and Z-down. This orientation of the unit vectors
makes yaw to starboard, pitch up, and roll starboard down all
anticlockwise rotations, but it points the Z unit vector down, which is,
for most people, rather counter-intuitive. And this is why we are trying
to define things in terms that don't require specification of unit
vector directions.

I'm going to try to continue down that path and avoid calling out
clockwise/anticlockwise.

Grace and peace,

Jim
