Your comment about location of connector does not work in all designs. 
For example, designs with a parallel mounted main board will often have 
the connector running horizontal along the bottom of the board instead 
of vertically up the side.
There is a (poor) rule of thumb that says 'stripe to the bottom'. This 
is REALLY poor and does account for boxed headers or incorrectly made 
cables (and YES there are 1000's of cables out there that do NOT use Pin 
1 as the stripe!!!)
If you boxed headers then the statement "should be oriented towards the 
bottom of a module" becomes academic as you can only connect a IDC cable 
to a boxed header one way.
