That's an interesting use case which can be handled by the above code.
For example, you could have:
<span class=arabic>0123</span><span class=kanji>〇一二三</span>
horizonal.css:
.kanji { display: none }
vertical.css:
.arabic { display: none }
PS. Martin is responsible for naming the 'span' element. As such, he
has contributed a lot of bytes to the web :-)
