CON:
1. Three letter overhead ("to ").
PRO:
1. Fewer letter overhead (5) than using "from ".
2. Fewer letter overhead (5 or 10) than adding "wards".
3. Resolves the original "keyword opposite angles" problem.
4. Resolves ambiguity vs. "from side" model.
5. Allows for corner gradient syntax to survive.
6. Prefixed and unprefixed syntax are easily differentiable by computers and humans.
That's a nice list of PROs with only one CON.
I can live with it.
