[...] it seems to me rebirth is to be understood within the context of impermanence, anatta and dukkha.

Isn't Dukkha what has to be understood in terms of anicca and anatta?

"What I have revealed is: 'This is Suffering, this is the Arising of Suffering, this is the Cessation of Suffering, and this is the Path that leads to the Cessation of Suffering.' And why, monks, have I revealed it?

"Because this is related to the goal, fundamental to the holy life, conduces to disenchantment, dispassion, cessation, tranquillity, higher knowledge, enlightenment and Nibbaana, therefore I have revealed it.

"Therefore, monks, your task is to learn: 'This is Suffering, this is the Arising of Suffering, this is the Cessation of Suffering, this is the Path that leads to the Cessation of Suffering.' That is your task."

Simsapa Sutta
If Dukkha is understood, crave and cling of mind ceases, and ceases Dukkha.

Where is the need of "re-birth"?
