Rotation in xy plane (screen plane) would be OK; that would be like rotation of a piece of paper flat on the table. Wedge bonds etc, are sensitive though to looking-from-behind-the-paper, as well as to mirroring. That inverts the stereochemistry. > I don't plan on implementing any of these things right now, but wanted to > comment given the topic of 2D/3D confusion.
