Great -- I made a minor change to special case atan2 with inputs 0,0,
which raises an error on my solaris box.  I took a look at the
documentation commit -- I see the reference

  See :ref:`toolkit_mplot3d-index` for more documentation and examples.

in docs/users/toolkits.rst, but there is nothing in doc/mpl_toolkits.
Did you forget to svn add the file?

One other feature request that I think you could add w/o too much
difficulty is colormapping on the surface plots (eg inherit from
cm.ScalaraMappable.  I did this in a local branch of the old axes3d
code which I might be able to dig up, but I think it should be pretty
forward to implement de novo.

You may want to take a look at what other popular toolkits do:
gnuplot, matlab, vtk.  These are time worn implementations so we could
benefit from seeing what they've done for the interface.
