I'm still missing something.  Why would the direction of the contour matter if, in either case, it's the same set of points?

Sorry, this was sloppily formulated.  It's about the *local* direction
of contours, that is, whether a horizontal contour segment goes from
left to right or from right to left.  For the 'i' stem and the 'i'
dot, both contours must have the same direction globally, but locally,
at the dividing space, the corresponding lower and upper segments must
have the opposite directions.
