Jack,

I'm not sure I understand your question.

But my question came precisely from some musing on tranformations involving
rotation plus translation and trying unravel what is geometric (coordinate
independent) about vectors and what isn't invariant about them or the
vectors we use to represent physical concepts, velocity for example.
