Are you left-handed by any chance? because I don't find it intuitive at all,
whenever there is sideways text, it's almost always with the base of the
letters facing right.(Look for any widthwise ads in magazines.. and you'll
find that the top of the ad is at the left end of the page.)
(I flipped through a bunch of magazines lying here and looked at some
hardware boxes and I couldn't find anything which had bottom-top text with
the base facing left. and even when I'm making notes in the margin the base
of my letters face the right.)

While I agree that the TitleAtLeft is performing as it should (logical -90
degree turn) and the old behaviour would have been 'unexpected' ... I'm not
sure how many people would find it easy to read text the way it's currently
rendered when rotated.

You can see here text facing both sides...
