Most winglets I've seen point upward, but thinking about the physics of
the things, if they had to extend in only one direction wouldn't down
be better, and wouldn't a plate -- extending both up and down, be best
for sub sonic flight?
Ground clearance, for one. As for your latter, that would be like a vortex
generator such as Bonanza wings have.
