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

Right, I don't think the layout symmetry is the important part here; transposing and then laying out *as if it had been the transpose all along* seems to be exactly what's desired here.

There are some corner cases that'll interact with this, tho, notably the collision mechanics around row/colspans. I presume, tho, that this could be resolved by "just" saying to swap the row/column-major-ness of the algo? That is, find the row/col positions of each cell normally, *then* transpose them, and layout accordingly? I dunno if this can produce "impossible" layouts, or if that's even something to worry about.
