I saw in the server referrers that people were trying it on other pages where it has no effect, or might have strange effects, so I think it's good to have it there to be sure people understand where it's to be used :) I have added the hack

Blog article about it here: http://www.wait-till-i.com/2010/02/09/rotating-maps-with-css... I had some problems getting it to work at first. To fix it, try using the tab key to get the focus onto the map, then it'll work. Pretty neat!

Can't say anything about opensourcing it yet. I could write a more technical blog post at some point how it's done, if more people should be interested in that.

I'm also using Orbited on my project Colorillo, but it seems that it will be superseeded by js.io ( http://js.io/ ). I was having a look at it but its documentation is even worse than the one of Orbited :)
