(Dunno if this is what you guys implied by mentioning a rear-hinged device, but it's just my two cents and seems to solve a lot of issues.)

He says it doesn't fall closed with the side hinge, so I assume they could manage that with the rear hinge. And it's not going to stick up high enough to block visibility.
And while I like the rear sliding idea, it would increase to complexity (price).
