--- Comment #9 from Carl Pettit <[email protected]> ---
I disagree with Luke in C8. Enhancing frames to allow rotation should be the
way to go. It yields a far better user experience and yields greater perceived
functionality. Look at it this way: adding fields to textboxes does just that.
However, adding rotation to frames yields a textbox replacement that now has
hoops of functionality otherwise lacking in textboxes.
I've yet to be convinced as to why the two elements exist. As I see it, adding
rotation to frames is the answer. When it comes to compatibility, converting to
ODF: convert inbound textboxes and frames to frames and on converting from ODF
(where rotation is unavailable in the destination) again convert to frames or
textboxes according to whether fields are incliluded in the frame or not. Or
just convert to frames and be done with it. Remember raise the compatibility
flag too!
