How to randomly move a camera around an object, looking into the center of this object, and go back after a certain time to the initial camera position, with the same initial rotation ?

Using a [jit.gl.camera @position 0 0 5 @lookat 0 0 0 @locklook 1], and moving camera with [jit.anim.drive] moveto messages seems the right solution. But when the camera goes back to the initial position, its rotation is different than the inital.

The only solution is to send a rotation (rotate or rotatexyz) message to the jit.gl.camera object, which suddenly corrects the orientation . I miss the point here, because with locklook attribute enabled, jit.gl.camera has to ignore rotation messages. 

My temporary solution is to replace jit.anim.drive object with lines, and send rotatexyz message for every position message.

Is there a better solution using jit.anim.drive ?
