Hi Simon,

For the scaling, some people do like to have independent scaling of XYZ.
One example I can think of are users who use a generic box to represent
most components and simply change the X,Y,Z scale to give a rough model
of each component.

Historically the orientation data was entered as Scale, Offset, Rotation;
I don't see a need to change that order so unless the chief devs believe
it would be an improvement to the UI, I wouldn't make such a change.
