Bug Description

Currently, when you rotate text using alt+] or [ it rotates using the bottom left of the text as its centre. Could there be options to change the rotation centre, even it were preset options (top left/right, bottom left/right and centre)

The center of the rotation for the 'rotate' attribute of text/tspan elements is defined in the SVG specification:
<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html#TextElementRotateAttribute>
<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html#TSpanElementRotateAttribute>
to be the 'current text position':
<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html#CurrentTextPosition>
