What would also be nice is the ability to do a non-local rotation

Thats easy - define the object at the top of the hierarchy!

The only other solution is to wait for behaviours and have the object =
itself orientate itself, taking into account the current coordinate =
system; it has to be done this way because some other (parent) object =
may change it's orientation/position and your object will inherit that =
change as you are within that objects child hierarchy; using behaviours, =
your object could adjust it' s position/orientation when it sees the =
parent coordinate system change.
