+1. Thanks for mentioning this. It's easier if the brake pad drops off a lip rather than running into the side of the lip.
I always check for this when building a wheel, too (when I can flip a rear rim around as long as it's not yet connected to the hub). Only time when I can't do anything is with an offset/asymmetrical rear rim.
