Apparently this is a known problem in FF since 2005 and possibly all browsers other than Mac (I haven't check the state of the art). The concern is that honoring the exif meta-data will break web-pages. In the past web pages were made by web developers who would be responsible for orienting their own photos. Today, more and more photos posted are coming directly from the cameras of ordinary, non-developer users.
At the moment I'm trying out a FF addon called imagetwist. It allows you to orient an image in place. I'd prefer if I could make TW5 apply the change, but was hoping to stick with the _canonical_uri approach. Applying some type of CSS would mean that I would need to use a macro instead of just the plain tiddler. Then again, maybe that's the way to go. I would not want to physically alter the original image since that would almost certainly result in some (small) amount of data degradation plus change the original time stamp.
