It is just the transposed matrix, and this depends on conventions and if you
multiply from left or right,....
Of course, in this case a much simpler loc.rot would be
1 0 0
0 0 1
0 1 0
(all what is required is that m is normal to z, thus one must interchange
y and z. The automatic procedure find a more complicated, but of course
still valid, loc.rot.
