I have seen a multi-"column" layout by an EPUB viewer, which is developed by an American company. They use column-count, column-width (probably intereted as "rwo-height"), column-gap, and column-rule. Even if css3-multicol does not cover vertical writing, it is not difficult to interpret it for vertical writing. Is this an abuse? Cheers, Makoto
