The chunks of text are indeed not necessarily oriented, but menu entries
and node entries are oriented left to right.  In

* MENU-ENTRY-NAME: NODE-NAME.   DESCRIPTION

it seems to me that the menu entry parts are more or less left to right.

Of course it could be displayed otherwise.  Maybe since this order is somewhat
arbitrary, it could indeed only considered as data organization convention 
not and as text.
