The problem is that you've ignored the hard part: how to specify the
vector ML.

We have, to the best of my knowledge, no compact way to do that *at
all*.  At the end you talk about specifying only the polarity; I
don't even know how to do *that* in compact fasion.

How do you specify "rotate the monitor clockwise as viewed from the
front" versus "rotate the monitor clockwise as viewed from right
side"?

I have some possible solutions in mind, but I'd like to hear other
people's first.
