I agree with Kevin on this. I think it is really unimportant which direction you give your 10 second count.
You may be surprised, but I agree with you and Kelvin. I don't think it's terribly important. I adopted it when somebody mentioned it at camp as giving the coaches a better view that you are actually counting. It's just a habit now. But I agree that if I'm observing an official, I don't even mention it and I certainly wouldn't downgrade a rating b/c of it.

I didn't mean to give the impression that it was the only correct way to do it. As I mentioned, the manual makes no such requirement.
