Frame revisions in Celx

[BobHegwood]

I know I probably shouldn't do this, but I'm going to anyway...
I have offered this advice to others, and mayhap you two geniuses could benefit from it...

"If you are not enjoying what you are doing for Celestia, then you should NOT be doing it."

Please keep this in mind while trying to beat these theories and stratagems into shape.
Perhaps a friendly meeting in Hamburg for a brewski or two would help?
I'll go away and mind my own business now, but it does seem as if a bit of humor could help here.

Thanks, Bob

In SSC files, Celestia's internal coordinate system is hidden: positions in FixedPositions, SampledOrbits, etc. are all given in standard astronomical coordinates. But, the non-standard coordinates are still used in celx scripts. I'd like to address this problem without breaking existing scripts. It's particularly important, because the coordinates generated by ScriptedOrbits (and the rotations produced by ScriptedRotations) are all in the standard coordinate system.

Let the user select the co-ordinate frame in the script. This will allow the user to use whatever frames that Celestia supports.

Have a default co-ordinate frame that is the same as the legacy default. This won't break existing scripts.
