Consider the space bar's current functionality: it jumps to the 
next unread post. How would it work in this scheme? Would it go 
down within a thread and then jump up to the next thread? Or 
would it keep going down, going through older posts within a 
thread but newer threads?

An option to reverse sorting direction could be added I suppose, 
but... why do you say that your proposal seems natural? Is it 
implemented that way elsewhere?

The horizontal-split mode (and its sorting direction) is not new, 
BTW.
