[Elecraft] OT: Sloper Dipole Question

[Northrop Nninem]

Chuck,
 
I love sloper dipoles and I mount them as vertical as possible.  When I feed a sloper with coax, I make sure that the wire with the center conductor of the coax attached to it goes "up."

My handy-dandy 1988 ARRL Handbook shows a picture of this antenna, but doesn't 
tell me which part of the antenna goes "up"; the side fed by the center 
conductor of the coax or the shield side.

Does it matter? Does anybody know one way or the other?
