Why is image-orientation in CSS for <img>? For background-image that makes sense, but if you are actually affecting the semantics of the image that is displayed, it seems like it should be in HTML or a hint in the image format. (My reply to Boris was going to be that drawImage() should follow whatever flag we introduce for <img> to have this behavior, seems weird for that flag to be in CSS though.) -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
