For that sort of thing, it makes sense. However, it's
counter-intuitive to click an *up* arrow to increase the Y value of an
object's placement - i.e., move it *down*. After all, you click the up
arrow on a scrollbar to move a document up. And how much stranger is
it to click an up arrow to move an object to the right?

Perhaps that's why Inkscape measures Y values from the bottom up...
