That's an interesting approach that I hadn't found before. Unfortunately there
are several problems with this solution:

     *	The text will be upside-down by the time it's come out of the printer and
read by someone (it's got right-to-left vertical but not left-to-right vertical)

     *	It only affects text, so image direction is still relative to the page layout
