Comment #14 on issue 2021 by [email protected]: cross product always returns (1,3)-Matrix
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2021

row x row = row and col x col = col will still allow the various properties to be asserted (like a x b = -b x a and a x (b x c) + b x (c x a) + c x (a x b)). But if we arbitrarily allow row x col to be row or col then we run into problems. It is not difficult to simply append a .T to the end of one of the vectors to make sure they are the same shape.

Would anyone complain (with just cause) if we dropped the current row x col and col x row behavior and raise an error instead?

Alternatively we just say this is a WontFix: any combination works at present and if you want something other than a row, append .T to your result.
