Around here we call them "features!" :)

Seriously, there was a time when we discussed the merits of
rotating or not rotating banner pages along with the rest of the
print job, and the customers driving the requirement (== paying)
said they wanted the banner to have the same orientation as the
rest of the job.

You can use dtranform (I think that is the PS procedure) to see which
direction the page is rotated, and then apply the corresponding
transform and rotate to "unrotate" things.
