I agree. I'd expect one of two behaviors for rotated inline elements. The first would be "slab" rotation, where all parts of the element are rotated on a plane (with some center point that we'd specify, probably the center of the bounding box of the parts of the span). The second would be that the rotation is applied per line, somehow.

I think the current Gecko and Opera behavior is undesirable.
