OK, I updated the first "4x4 3D transformation matrix" to now be "4x4
homogeneous transformation matrix". I didn't feel that leaving 3D in there
somewhere was practical. Because of this, I intentionally left the text alone
two sentences later, in the hopes that it would be helpful to people who aren't
up on the terminology. I think that the result is OK, but it might be
confusing.
Thoughts?
