I think there is a valid reason to forego making text rotatable - vertical text is nonstandard for most technical presentation formats - mechanical drawing is where my greatest experience lies and I am aware of no drawing standard that supports it. With an CAD software(including very expensive ones) there will be some sort of cranky option when sketching text for decorations or identification on castings, molded parts, laser cut and machined sheets, etc. Pretty much just like what Dia offers.
In that case I should be able to get away with submitting a plan without rotated text. PS Rotatable text might indeed be overkill, but XY swapping should be possible ? Didn't find the render code yet, and currently don't have enough spare time to write it myself if feasible.
