Dear all,

  I don't catch the difference between "platform orientation" (The
platform orientation is the direction in which the "front" or
longitudinal axis of the platform is pointing) and "platform_yaw_angle"
(usually defined as the angle between a vehicle's heading and a
reference heading (normally true or magnetic North
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North>)).

   I didn't find anything relating to this in the 2005 mailing list
archive (these names seems to be a 2005 addtion).

   Could anybody point me to more detailed description ?

Thanks,

Bruno.
