[csswg-drafts] [css-tables] Transposing table contents (#8529)

hfhchan has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-tables] Transposing table contents ==
There should be a way to make the rows and columns transposed, possibly as an extra keyword on the `table-layout` property, or a new CSS property.

If you have a very long form where you are modifying multiple objects, e.g. editing multiple Persons with shortName, longName, age, gender, address, etc, it is much easier to generate HTML going by column, instead of looping through all objects per row.

Currently one way to do that is to use `writing-mode: vertical-lr` on the table and then `writing-mode: horizontal-tb` on the td and th. That works on Google Chrome, but causes each table row to become 0px tall on Firefox.
