I like this idea :-)

At the risk of overcomplicating, vertical text is a common requirement 
for graphs and charts. If this is simpler to implement than the 
"arbitrary text rotation" case, is it worth having a way of saying the 
baseline is vertical rather than horizontal? Or would this be a job for 
fitTextToPath()?
