i don't have time to go through this thoroughly now, but it sounds like you're 
implementing what amounts to a totally different form factor altogether, which 
doesn't fit the current of planar, horizontal or vertical. it may make sense 
to add a new form factor for this kind of use case and fix what breaks.
