I might compromise and simply make use of polarizable so that you can have
it either way.  An orient="vertical" will basically make the <row /> tags
behave like columns and the <col /> tag behave like rows.

Whilst that is a slight abuse of the names, it's easier than going for
something neutral like gridmajor and gridminor.
