Skybox uses pointing up for sentence finals (periods, question marks,
exclamation marks) and pointing down for other (commas, semicolons).
I think of it like this: the pointing-up triangle has its base firmly on
the ground and can't topple over; it's stable and firm on its own. The
pointing-down triangle can fall over, so it's unstable and must be supported on
both sides.
