(Incidentally, where's the property that controls how or whether glyphs are rotated when put in a different writing direction from usual? I thought it was part of the css3-text-layout module.) The bt-.. cases can also occur when vertical text (whether body text or a table) contains both some text of a usually-lr language and some text of a usually-rl language. (There are different ways of writing the text in that case, which is one reason why there's value in having CSS control over it.) pjrm.
