I agree that the engine would be more complicated if you could tilt your 
head up or down, but what about if, say, you had the options of three 
preset angles (one looking up at 30 degrees, one straight ahead and one 
looking down at 30 degrees).  After the initial change of viewpoint, 
would there really be that much more for the engine to handle?  I mean, I 
don't know how id did the engine, but it would seem that the calculations 
would be the same - the coordinates would be skewd.

Hmmm...  Something to ponder while we wait, I guess.
