zjopy has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-writing-mode] == Is there a reason, why the `writing-mode` of an element isn't inferred from its `lang` HTML attribute? It seems to me like should, since it should be a property of the markup instead of the presentation, for the same reason that `direction` is inferred from the `dir` attribute. In other words, why is the inline direction (set by `direction`) semantic while the block direction (set by `writing-mode`) is presentational? I know that some vertical languages like Chinese are in the way of transitioning to becoming horizontal languages, but the underlying question still remains. Shouldn't the block direction be a semantic property of the markup instead of the presentation?
