However, it's counter-intuitive to click an *up* arrow to increase the Y value of an object's placement - i.e., move it *down*. After all, you click the up arrow on a scrollbar to move a document up. And how much stranger is it to click an up arrow to move an object to the right? Perhaps that's why Inkscape measures Y values from the bottom up...
