The current RFC gives the orientation a "type"; for now, the RFC only defines "type":"anatomical". The examples given below are good candidates for additional types with a separate namespace.

In my opinion, the namespacing means that this feedback should not block the acceptance of the RFC as-is; if reasonably complete vocabularies can be provided for other orientation types then they could be added to RFC-4, or if it takes longer/ a more in-depth survey to gather those vocabularies, they can be added in another RFC or via some (yet-to-be-proposed) extension mechanism.
