In the last sentence of the 3.1 Current orientation[1] paragraph: It
says: "In both if the device is in landscape-primary and is rotated 90
degrees clockwise, that should be represented as portrait-primary."
That last case/sentence cannot apply to *both* previous ones, that last
case is describing a 'landscape-primary' normal/default orientation.
Therefore, it only reflects "devices whose normal orientation is a
landscape mode".
'In both' should be removed from the sentence, and it needs an
additional sentence with another case instead. Likely one that describe
a counter clockwise (-90 degree) case to differentiate both 90 from -90
rotations. As it is phrased now, it's difficult to get a full
understanding of left and right rotations.
The MSDN doc is helpful in clarifying this:
