Indeed !

It is

except for the 
current_tilt 
current offset  
goal_view_offset 
goal_tilt_offset

mechanisms.

These are dynamical properties that should be stored in either
a quat or a matrix and not as absolutes as they are now.

As you appropriately say these valuse can be set by anything
the keyboard mouse joystick whiplash due to plane_accelerations ect

You just have to learn to trust the math and allow the Matrix/Quat 
manipulators todo the right thing !

They really do hold all the information necessary just as you
discovered the 'convenient comment' in the Viewer code that 
allowed you to get the desired axis for your 'tilt' by inspection

What the LinearAlgebra Team needs from the rest of the group
is a concisely written requirements list for the Interface IAW step (1) 
of the extreme programing technique
