I appreciate that DSSSL can lay out text right to left, but one of the
local
quirks I have come across is one whereby the text for two facing pages 
runs as follows:

Left hand page                
top left			  
   to 
      bottom right

('normal')

then the opposite page is rotated through 180 degrees, hence reads
upside down, bottom right to top left. This to ensure that the completed
page
can fit onto a master and be cropped within the physical limits of the
page.

<question> Does DSSSL cope with such a twisted view of print?
</question>
