We're very concerned about the user experience here. We'd love to give the content the ability to lock or, more accurately, choose the orientation but:

- a nasty page might flip/flop endlessly
- the user might be confused as to why their browser can rotate sometimes, not rotate other times, or even rotate when they have manually locked the orientation. Swapping tabs might trigger a rotation, for example.

So, this is probably best suited to "web apps" rather than general pages in the browser.

Interested to hear any thoughts you (or anyone listening) may have.
