Gonewest - that is an extreme case for which Unusual Attitude recovery action should be taken.
moggie explains it exactly; you select what you anticipate to be the correct pitch attitude on the AH, hold it, trim it. Then you assess whether it is the correct attitude by reference to the effect on the altimeter. If it shows a climb or descent you adjust the attitude in the appropriate direction by reference to the AH and retrim, repeating as oft as ye shall have need!
I share his comments regarding FAA guidance.......
