What are the semantics of 'over right'? From the current ED I see:
over <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-ruby-1/#valdef-ruby-position-over>
<http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-ruby-1/#valdef-ruby-position-over>The ruby
text appears over <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-writing-modes-3/#over> the
base in horizontal text.
right <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-ruby-1/#valdef-ruby-position-right>
<http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-ruby-1/#valdef-ruby-position-right>The ruby
text appears on the right side of the base in vertical text.
Since text can't be both horizontal and vertical WM at the same time, then
what is the meaning of specifying both?
