I actually think that they should specify the maximum height, width and depth of a bag so all bags go wheels first into the overhead compartment. There is enough room in those compartments for every economy passenger to bring on a 20"x14"x10" rollaboard. Anything larger than that needs to be in the cargo hold. The number of people I've seen bringing aboard 26"x17x11" suitcases and taking up an entire compartment for themselves is astounding, and just bad manners. And it’s about time too.
