I ask because I am wondering if portrait orientation EXIF data is out of the question.

The accelerometer determines if it is held in as portrait/horizontal (0 or 1) and writes this to the EXIF properties, and then an image viewer could recognize this and rotate it as needed/desired.

Additionally I think this feature, should it exist, should be enable/disable optional as I can see it annoying certain people.
Portrait data is in the EXIF. That's the biggest reason for the accelerometer, to know whether to rotate a captured image for portrait or normal mode.
