The list is supposed to be x1 y1 x2 y2 where (x1, y1) is top left and (x2, y2) is bottom right.  But the spec says:

  If the shape attribute represents the rectangle state, and the first number in
  the list is numerically less than the third number in the list, then swap those
  two numbers around.

which is backwards: it should be "greater", not "less".
