I still don't get the message, don't I? ;-)
Seriously, I don't see any contradiction with these words, Kim. I took
the normal, converted its oritentation to world space, and tried to
used that for the null rotation - and failed.
What does it has to do with position?
Honestly not trying to be obtuse.

"I'm writing a script that extracts the normal vector of every point of
a mesh. Then these vectors are mapped to world space."
"ovGlobalNormal = xsimath.mapobjectorientationtoworldspace (oMeshTransform,
oPoint.normal )"
