If I recall correctly, I suggested only allowing x/y rotation to one of these people. If I recall correctly, he responded by saying that even x/y rotation was flawed, because 2D molecular models were supposed to be presented in a standard orientation. I don't plan on implementing any of these things right now, but wanted to comment given the topic of 2D/3D confusion.
