Rotation center is saved in the file but not the rotation value itself. So how 
would the code loading the morph know how much to rotate?

If a morph is embedded in another morph, the submorph's rotation does get 
restored when the owner morph is loaded from file. I realize why this happens 
but the result is not consistent.

This raises a deeper question. Are rotation and scaling an inherent, 
persistent property of the morph (like color or extent) or a transient 
property (like its origin or owner). If the latter, then why should a flex 
wrapper persist after the rotation/scaling is ended? We could use a single 
rubberband handle to rotate/scale and cache (heading,scale,graphic) in an 
extension.
