In fact, I just tried 3D zoom.  When zooming in pretty close, there are some rounding problems where the axes do not draw in the correct direction.  (I think that is a known bug.)  But I'm wondering what the benefit is of zooming in 3D.  If it were for scaling and positioning on the screen in a way that could be useful (i.e., feedback so that someone doesn't have to do manual placement of the plot) I could see that.

The benefit of rotating feature is clear.

I guess this goes back to a discussion I recall with Hans, that 2D zooming could be accomplished without having to replot, but its usefulness isn't great without reploting the axes with new ranges, so on.  Well, this 3D zoom is sort of the same thing.  I'd think for 3D zoom to have the same behavior, the plot access should remain the same but the plotted range should shrink (zoom in) or expand (zoom out).  Even that is somewhat limiting without the ability to pan (i.e., move the plotted range to any arbitrary locations).
