   Comments from the meeting:

   * Let's reorder the three methods to have book-spine first, and
   the CJK case second?

   * Instead of bullets, using sections (with a short title) for
   the methods.

   * How about we rename `vertical-en.png` and `vertical-fr.png`
   to something more descriptive of the text effect, like
   `vertical-facing-left.png` and `vertical-facing-right.png`, or
   `vertical-rotated-left.png` and `vertical-rotated-right.png`

   * Have Arabic text to be the "first line" in both boxes, to
   make it easier for audience to see the box rotation logic in
   action.

   Comment on the issue: Based on discussion about #117, it came
   up that we can address that question in the Font section in
   ALReq, noting that "proportional fonts" are generally preferred
   to "monospace fonts".
