> The use of the Rotation(Vector3D u1,Vector3D u2,Vector3D v1,Vector3D v2) constructor with normalized angle can apparently lead to un-normalized quaternion.
> This case appeared to me with the following data :
> u1 = (0.9999988431610581, -0.0015210774290851095, 0.0)
> u2 = (0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
> and 
> v1 = (0.9999999999999999, 0.0, 0.0)
> v2 = (0.0, 0.0, -1.0)
> This lead to the following quaternion :
> q0 = 225783.35177064248
> q1 = 0.0
> q2 = 0.0
> q3 = -3.3684446110762543E-9
> I was expecting to have a normalized quaternion, as input vector's are normalized. Does the quaternion shouldn't be normalized ?
> I've joined the corresponding piece of code as JUnit Test case
