I'm not sure, but I think James Jessiman's parts are oriented in the same
direction as the "LEGO" text on the studs.  Is this a trend that should
be continued?  I think it would certainly give a more accurate image for
people who use the qulaity = 3 option in L3P to add the lettering...

It wouldn't always be possible to orient parts that way.  For example,
the giant space wheel (makes me think of 2001) has side-mounted studs.
So should it be oriented laying down, just so the studs face upward?
