Sorry I forgot to say that the ruler should flip over to this display
mode also when changing the page margins, and that it should work also
for the vertical ruler.

So I guess two strategies for me to implement then, one for each
orientation, and each inheriting the existing strategy for the
respective orientation, overriding drawRulerStripes() as you suggest?
