I would prefer that, if it does not perturb xastir too much.

Talk back?  At least for my current application, xastir is
receive only.  However, you do bring up some interesting
possibilities.

Yes, I would like for it to point in the right direction.

I just want to display altitude in the data block, that's all.

Yes, a 3D display would be a bit much.  May as well just project
it onto the holodeck.
