The overflow direction can be determined through block flow direction, inline base direction, and **inline orientation**. The test case specifies `{writing-mode: vertical-lr; direction: ltr}` that means rightward and downward ([image](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-writing-modes-4/diagrams/line-orient-right.svg)). However, if it specifies `{writing-mode: sideways-lr; direction: ltr}` that means rightward and upward ([image](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-writing-modes-4/diagrams/line-orient-left.svg)). `sideways-lr` is also the block flow direction being left-to-right, but it changes the inline orientation so that the overflow direction is different compared to `vertical-lr`. ([image](https://mdn.mozillademos.org/files/12201/writing-mode-actual-result.png))
In the above situation, I was a little confused when reading the terminology chapter in cssom-view spec, but now I've been clear on that, because `sideways-lr` had recently been deprecated option due to at-risky. So it seems no problem in the cssom-view spec, but someone who isn't familiar with writing-mode spec could be possible to be confused when reading the paragraphs in the terminology chapter of cssom-view spec.
