You answered your own question! But perhaps it would be appropriate to have the actual channel outputs on the normal dir node as well. I'll consider it!

Actually, I'm reopening this. I should make SF say "Install 4.2 or later" if you're running an old Unity version.

No problem, closing it :)

Sure! Will go for UDK style, but post-release :)

(It's not a priority for 1.0)

This should be related to your Unity version. You currently need 4.2 or later for SF

You can control them procedurally as it is, you don't need a panner node to pan UVs:
