Currently the Writing Modes spec says:

   # If the box has a specified display of run-in, its display computes to block. [CSS21]

Since run-in was removed from CSS2.1, and the model in CSS Display
is substantially different, I think we should remove this line from
the Writing Modes spec and file it as an issue against the Display
module.

My proposal for the best way to handle this would be to have this
case compute to ''run-in flow-root'', i.e. treat it as a run-in
inline-block.
