Drew, that sounds as if you have not seen my initial posting? ... which
could easily be the case since I did the first posting to this list + I
did it via Gmane i.e. I not just read the list via Gmane but also post
to list through Gmane. As I checked yesterday my initial post was gone
i.e. I could only see Richards answer with a snippet of my initial post.
However, now all seems to be fine again (it worked for all other lists
e.g. Planner, Muse etc. from the beginning) ... whatever ...

You asked for a reason and use case -- this is another snippet, taken
from my initial post:

,----[ Reason why I am asking ... ]
| Times have changed and nowadays many of us tend to use notebooks. The
| angle between looking at some notebook screen and some workstation
| monitor is different. From my point of view it is much more comfortable
| and healthy to look straight instead of having to "tilt" my head down
| (even bend my whole body) in order to work with the minibuffer when I
| use the notebook.

As you can see, my reason is manly for health reasons. I think there is
great value in making a step towards this direction although I am not
aware of how much work it would be to accomplish this.
