In principle the orientation can often quite reliably be determined from
elevation data - this is of course not so easy to do with the normal
rendering framework.
In general orientation of a saddle is also a function of the scale you
look at - for example this:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2001818936
has an east-west orientation when you look at it closely but on a coarse
scale it is a north-south crossing.
