I completely agree with you. Some of us lose sight of the fact that we have been around for a long time and we think everyone understands of the rules like we do. I agree this might not be the most "common sense" type of question, but someone probably tried this somewhere.
On the other hand I would say this is illegal based on the fact it violates some of the basic principles of verticality and what is considered to be a legal screen by all the definitions. Also the spirit of the rule is to have a screen upright. I have never seen a screen like this attempted, but if attempted I would not consider it legal.
