There are plenty of situations where you want a bit of text drawn in a 
non-flipped context - button titles, for example. You don't need a complex 
layout but the actual glyphs still need to come out right. If the text system 
didn't do this we'd have to used a flipped view for everything with text, which 
would make things very complicated.

Personally I'd prefer if all contexts/views were flipped by default, as that 
seems more natural as a programmer, but that's another argument (and another 
one that's never going to change).
