I think the problem is that the current definition is unclear:
"x1 is to the right/right-hand side of x2 which faces/in-frame-of-reference
x3 [also: x3 is the standard of orientation for x2];"

If we simply take x3 to be the frame of reference, then all is well.
For example, if x3 is a person, that person's intrinsic right hand
side is right.

But then what does this stuff about x2 "facing" x3, or x3 being a standard
of orientation for x2 has to do with anything? x2 is supposed to be a
positional reference for x1, only its position should be relevant, not
its orientation, if it has any.
