I was not following this thread, and now that I look back through
it I don't understand what the issue really is.

I never did understand 'set ticslevel', but whatever it did should
stay that way for backwards compatibility.

The idea behind 'set xyplane <foo>' is [supposed to be] obvious:
Whatever zrange is, whatever way round the axes are pointing,
yadda yadda,   draw the place so that it intersects the z axis
at <foo>.  Have you found some case where this doesn't happen?
