Dear Ed,
It looks like the problem is not yet closed, so I'll add my remarks.
In addition to very detailed comments by Ian, Tim and others, it might be useful to look our article in J.Appl.Cryst (1997), 30, 402-410, which addresses exactly these confusing points: what is rotated, what is fixed, in which direction rotated, polar angles vs Euler angles, etc... Maybe not so detailed as you wish but may help. Some tables may be also useful (unfortunately, there is one mistyping in Table 2, if I remember).
With best wishes,
Sacha Urzhumtsev
