Is it overly confusing to allow specifying  look-at point? That would allow
you to specify a link to a location that orients the user looking in the
correct direction?

The old OGP spec for rez_avatar/place allows it (
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OGP_Teleport#POST_Interface ), however, I
have not implemented it in the viewer in any way, shape, or form.
