Right and excellent explanation. I was more disagreeing with your definition than saying it could not be done with "cross products" (although it's still bad terminology, biased to people that already know the concepts). That's why I couldn't say you were wrong. Intuitively, a measure of how parallel two vectors of arbitrary dimensions are, is a better default when talking about orientation of vectors.
