Obviously images aren't appropriate, and svg seems burdensome. In many cases, text itself would be the most useful, and I'm not sure that rotation should be extended to arbitrary elements. Also less useful is arbitrary rotation... 90/180/270 degrees would do 95% of what most people need. Just my personal opinion. John Oyler john@discrevolt.com
