Error in Quaternion to AxisAngle

Hi,
I think that you have an error in you Quaternion to AxisAngle derivation... Your code is right, but in the derivation, you are not doing the samething as in the proof! :-(
I think the bug came from the page AxisAngle to Quaternion... where the code is wrong (at least, if you look at your definition of quaternions)!! You should have ('multiply s' instead of 'divide by s'):
double s = Math.sin(a1.angle/2);
x = a1.x * s; y = a1.y * s; z = a1.z * s; w = Math.cos(a1.angle/2);
