It is referenced in ?plot.default and ?plot.window, with the former
passing the 'asp' argument to the internal localWindow() function as a
wrapper to the latter.

In the HTML help page for ?axis, the 'asp' word in the quote above is a
live link to ?plot.window. 

That is not helpful of course if one is working within ESS.

Perhaps the See Also in ?axis should point to plot.default and
plot.window?

HTH,
