where rotation rate about the X axis is XXxx, etc. in a right-handed orientation.  Note that I'm not 100% on the least significant bytes, but that seems to be correct, and the format is self-consistent.  It is currently unknown how the MotionPlus is automatically detected - this method provides no status report when the MotionPlus is connected.  Writing 0x55 to 0x4A400F0 (the first step of standard extension init) re-activates the standard extension, if any, plugged into the MotionPlus pass-through port.  The development version of the CWiid driver currently implements this method on the motionplus branch: http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/browser/branches/motionplus/.

The combination of 3 linear accelerations with 3 angular rates allows what Nintendo refers to as 1:1 motion tracking, which is another way of saying 6DOF (degrees of freedom) over a short time.  It's only valid over short times because of the integration involved to convert accelerations and rates into positions (input errors, when integrated, blow up over time).
