We already use Point3D as a vector. It seems that publicly it's 
currently only in Rotate - as rotation axis. So we can either continue 
to do that - J2D does this as well - and possibly provide the vector 
methods in Point3D, or we need to introduce new Vector3D and Vector2D 
and deprecate the now wrong Point3D usage in Rotate. To me it seems it 
might really be clearer to introduce the vectors, but I think Richard 
should comment when abandoning old API comes to play..
