hi uwe,

yes, your predication is correct on the "is does not happen at v or V" for polarization.

if you have a look at the sources, and also at my proposed patch - i am still waiting for your answer -

szap just check[s|ed] for the h and if that is NOT present is assumes v.

so everything else than a "h" or (with my patch applied) "H" will be treated as vertical.

regards
marcel
