You can do the vertical MJER noto while doing ZNKR Iaido. Vertical or horizontal is both acceptable, the only defined point is, that you start in the center and the sword and saya are in 90 deg. angle at the start.
it's not all that hard really-you guide along your left hand with the blade half the the time to bring the kissaki to the mouth of the scabbard the other half is just sliding the blade in after an almost literally spoonfed scabbard(thought about it for a sec.... to use all terms-but how most wouldn't understand past blade concepts ; /)
I think leogan's comment was an expression of style bias. He probably doesn't care about the "crap" as you hastily supposed. He is probably a student of MJER like myself, and the trend here lately is to hate Seitei Iai for not having any history behind it. I personally don't see a problem with ZNKR, I just don't like that Muso Shinden Ryu sideways Noto very much.
Sorry that was meant to be a response to Schwertfechter.
