It is not clear to me wether the legend should be fully rotateable (like the titles)? ->bm: Please take over for considering.
I think we might need the rotation about 90, 180, 270 degrees for different text directions like chinese text that is written from top to bottom some time anyway. I don't think rotation of the legend about any angle makes much sense. The only idea where it might make a little sense would be a 2d-legend object for a 3d chart, where you want to align the legend with an axis that is a little rotated in the 2d projection. But for this a real 3d legend would be the better solution. (A similar situation is the rotation of axis labels for a slightly tilted axis. This looks better than unrotated labels, but is not the same as true 3d labels).
