This is why the left or right must only be mentioned as a fallback to the
already "facing front" paradigm that governs most Tango icons currently. You
might not have specified a facing direction, but the truth is, 90% of the
Tango icons are facing front. This is why when there is a need to create an
icon that doesn't face front, to exist a guideline saying where it should be
facing.

I personally disagree with this.
