[css-round-disiplay][mediaqueries] Orientation media feature consideration

In the CSS Round Display spec, 'device-radius' property has been described
as the Media Queries extension. I think this property is proper level
between expressiveness and simplicity to check what the display shape is. We
can extend the property to express another shapes like star, triangle,
diamond.

 

BTW, I noticed the orientation property as one of media features in CSS
Media Queries. Its values can be 'portrait' or 'landscape'. 'orientation:
portrait' has a true value, when the value of the 'height' media feature is
greater than or equal to the value of the 'width' media feature.

 

In the case of a regular round display, the value of the 'width' is equal to
the value of the 'height', but the situation that should detect the device's
orientation can happen if I want to show my watch's screen to a friend. The
orientation of the watch might be changed when I show the watch to someone
from my view or when I stretch out my hand straight from bended state.

 

In this situation, I'm wondering the definition of orientation media
feature's values in CSS Media Queries should be changed, or new property can
be defined, or nothing to do.

 

Thanks.
