axis label and ticks alignment of ListPlot3D and Histogram3D

Question

I have a question on axis label alignment of ListPlot3D and Histogram3D. These labels are not aligned with the axis of the view, but only horizontally. I have tried very hard to align them manually, but the method sucks and still the output lacks precision and neatness. I wonder if M 9.0.0 has this facility? If no, then please suggest some clean way which aligns through exact calculations.

Thanks in advance.

ListPlot3D[Table[Sin[i + j^2], {i, 0, 3, 0.1}, {j, 0, 3, 0.1}], 
AxesLabel-> {Xaxis, Yaxis}, PlotLabel -> Sin[i + j^2], PlotStyle -> Purple]

Histogram3D[RandomVariate[NormalDistribution[0, 1], {500, 2}],
AxesLabel ->{Xaxis, Yaxis}]

This is the only approach that pops to my mind. We make use of texturized labels that are presented on the $x$-$y$ plane:

Show[
 ListPlot3D[Table[Sin[i + j^2], {i, 0, 3, 0.1}, {j, 0, 3, 0.1}], 
  PlotLabel -> Sin[i + j^2], PlotStyle -> Purple, 
  Lighting -> "Neutral"],
 Graphics3D[{Texture[
    Rasterize[Text[Xaxis], RasterSize -> 150, ImageSize -> 150]], 
   EdgeForm[White], 
   Polygon[{{2, 0, -1}, {12, 0, -1}, {12, 5, -1}, {2, 5, -1}}, 
    VertexTextureCoordinates -> {{0, 0}, {1, 0}, {1, 1}, {0, 1}}]}],
 Graphics3D[{Texture[
    Rasterize[Text[Yaxis], RasterSize -> 150, ImageSize -> 150]], 
   EdgeForm[White], 
   Polygon[{{32, 2, -1}, {32, 12, -1}, {27, 12, -1}, {27, 2, -1}}, 
    VertexTextureCoordinates -> {{0, 0}, {1, 0}, {1, 1}, {0, 1}}]}]
 ]
