Honestly Alan, the most important question is not what we expect users are going to do, but how we're sure they will abuse the thing :-) I'm not saying we _have_ to specify shape positioning as I defined it but if we don't, we need to at least specify the default behaviour here. I could perfectly live with centered or positioned at the "start" corner (think writing-direction and vertical writing too). </Daniel>
