[css-writing-modes-3] extract-ordered-list-direction-and-writing-modes

Mihai,

http://test.csswg.org/suites/css-writing-modes-3_dev/nightly-unstable/html/extract-ordered-list-direction-and-writing-modes.htm

I examined your test and I suggest you break it into 3 smaller tests, at 
least, to start with. [Maybe you have done so: I don't know this for 
sure... as there are already many tests beginning with the filename 
'extract-ordered-lists-in-regions' in §3.1 of regions test suite.] 
Otherwise you should make such test easier to figure out for people 
taking the test and eventual reviewers and less complex.

That test uses nested lists (why nested lists?), regions are floated (is 
that really necessary?), uses flow-into, flow-from, region-break-after 
(deprecated?), break-after, direction: rtl and vertical writing-modes. 
It looks like a complex test and a difficult test to pass for any 
browser.

When you link to a spec, it's better to link from the table of contents 
rather than the property definition.

It seems to me that 'region-break-after' has been superceded in 2013. 
Just having a test testing solely, only 'break-after: region' would be, 
by itself, probably needed here as there seems to be no test on 
'break-after: region' in CSS3 Fragmentation or in CSS3 Regions test 
suite:
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css-regions-1_dev/nightly-unstable/html/chapter-3.htm#s3.3

The pass-fail-conditions sentences are over 1 KiloByte.

The reference file presumes that browsers taking the test will support 
'direction: rtl' and 'vertical-rl' and 'vertical-lr' writing-modes ... 
which is not always a reliable, trustworthy method of creating reference 
files.

There must be reasons why you created this test; I just believe this 
test as is is not suitable for the writing-mode test suite. I suggest 
testing 1 region and 1 writing-mode at a time in 1 - as simple and short 
as possible - test.
