What if the device's most common mode of operation is in landscape mode? This might be confusing for page authors. My intentions were that the device-width should change when changing between landscape and portrait, but there are at least two issues with that: 1. If all current implementations don't, implementations will be less interoperable, at least in short term. 2. Changing the values of device-width/device-height when rotating the device will require a reflow when those values are used. That is a performance and a user experience issue. -- Rune Lillesveen Senior Core Developer / Architect Opera Software ASA
