I wouldn't put it at the same level though. As far as I understand it,
the orientation is a hardware constraint: the hardware has been
designed that way, and should honor that orientation to make it look
with the top, well, on top.
However, the rotation is more of a user choice, and you could
definitely envision having a combination of a rotation and an
orientation constraint.
