Implementation of reference-orientation and the ability to put rotated text

I am trying to put writing that is rotated down the margin of a document
- the content of the text is being picked up from a marker. It seems the
reference-orientation attribute is ideal for this. 

Is this implemented at all, or any plans to do so? 

If it is not implemented, is there any other way to do rotated lettering
down the sides of a page?

Thanks,

Ian

reference-orientation will not be available for a while. We can't give
dates, yet. At any rate, support for it has been started in our redesign
effort. But that's not ready, yet.

I have used SVG to get rotated content in the past. Of course, this is
not always possible (especially when the rotated content should be
broken over pages).
