Actually, the quickdraw group could announce a standard for rotated
text before they've implemented it.  This would confer the following
benefit: rotated text could be exchanged between all applications that
already support it.  I believe that, while quickdraw comments can
contain rotated text, the method of specifying rotation and reading
the rotation comments has not yet been specified.

How much would this cost apple R & D ?  Not much, in my opinion.
