Default 3 prong outlet, which way is up?

So, if ground up is now the correct way to go, those 90-degree plugs should
start to be made where the ground on the plug would be up while the cord
hangs down along the wall. I wonder if we'll see that happen, or at least
be an available option when buying them.

Ground down. the other way looks stupid.


Also to be considered is that plugs mounted 90 degrees to the cord don't
work very well with ground at the top.
