Sound like an idea which needs much more work to be formalized...
and will not be so easy to implement.

1. What are the reference line and direction ? Mention of bidi is
   needed. What happens in case of vertical text ? I guess that the
   non inheritance is here to partially solve the problem.
2. does it really apply to all elements ? If it applies to inline
   elements, how will it affect the size of the containing box (CSS
   has only rectangular and non rotated boxes for the moment) and line
height ?
   How does it affect background and borders of block-level elements ?
   Relation with clip and overflow properties ?
3. I don't think it should apply to a table sub-element TR TD or TH !
4. what is rotated ? the box or the inline data inside the box ?
