Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-writing-modes-3] Propose to replace "'text-orientation: upright' to cause strong LTR" with author notes how to do it

I think it's pretty clear that treating all the characters as strong 
LTR (so that upright Hebrew letters appear top-to-bottom, for example)
 is the right thing to do. It's less clear -- at least to me -- that 
it's desirable for `text-orientation:upright` to affect the used value
 of `direction`, with all the additional effects that implies (such as
 on table cell ordering). If an author actually wants *that* result, 
surely the natural way to achieve it is by specifying the proper (LTR)
 `dir` attribute, not as a side-effect of controlling the character 
orientation.
