I think parts descriptions have to assume a "top/up" of a part, otherwise,
we'll have really long names" "5x5x2 rectangular piece with one stud
centered on one 5x5 face with hollow on opposite face, clip extending from
one 2x5 face, holds rod in parallel with line through center of the 5x5
faces." Note that I had to drop to LU instead of stud x stud x brick height
since we can no longer assume the orientation of the piece. Even the bricks
with studs or tubes on more than one face have a pretty clear top and
bottom.
I think it is somewhat reasonable to describe the slopes in terms of their
use as roof pieces, though obviously the "half pyramid" end piece and the
2x2 peak with bite taken out of it (so it can form a junction or turn in a
roof peak) do cause confusion. Perhaps if we called these "1x2 end cap" and
"2x2 peak junction".
