3-d point plotting?

We are reworking the 3d graphics stuff at present.  What sort of
plot(s) would you like to see?  The common one I've seen shows the
points with line segments dropped vertically down to the coordinate
plane below.        

[ The new 3d stuff includes the following:
 
 * contour smoothing using B-splines
 
 * filled contours (optionally shaded for the kind of effect you
   see in topgraphic maps)
 
 * enhancements to "persp"
 
    - draping of filled contours on the surface
 
    - drawing of contour lines on the surface
 
    - flat shading models to make things more realistic ]

Would be great when included in the R! Perhaps I am totally out, but would it be 
possible to have the option to label the individual points (not the axes only)?

In our application, we're looking at 2-dimensional position through time,
and we'd like to plot multiple sequences on a single graph.  So we'd just
like to be able to do points and lines (as in the type="l" plotting
option) in three dimensions.  Lines down to the grid aren't an issue.  In
Splus we can make perspp do what we want. 

Thanks,
