For the shape-with-rotated text part, I would suggest to go that way
neverhtheless. Sooner or later we'll have to solve the lack of rotation
for the same "drawingML in wps/wpg" case anyway, and the various other
improvements you get by moving to drawingML for wpc seems to outweight
the trouble of rotated text.
