it’s nice if the terms are readable. Linewidth and Lineheight have some … recognition, albeit mostly in writing systems that use horizontal lines assembled into vertical blocks.
ipd and bpd are directions, not measurements, aren’t they? and they don’t exactly roll off the tongue or leap to mind in terms of recognizability

Change their names to ipd and bpd, abbreviations for inline progression dimension and block progression dimension, respectively, and document convention that width and height (as well as horizontal and vertical) are always absolute and not writing mode relative. The only exception being that 'height' in lineHeight remains writing mode relative, i.e., specifies the nominal bpd of a line area.
