But then... For 'cursor: text', "User agents may automatically display a horizontal I-beam/cursor (e.g. same as the vertical-text keyword) for vertical text" http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-css3-ui-20150519/#cursor How do you define 'vertical text' in that sentence? How is it possible to have vertical text while, at the same time, not being able to support vertical 'writing-mode'? Isn't 'vertical text' in that sentence implicitly assuming that a vertical writing-mode has to be supported? > > Not supporting vertical text should not affect conformance with > css3-ui Agreed. > , which is what my test is trying to assess. > >> If the user agent supports vertical writing-mode but does not support >> a vertical text cursor, then the test must fail. > > Sure. > >> It will be up to the manufacturer of such user agent or rendering >> engine to establish or to untangle the reason of the test failure by >> their user agent or rendering engine. > > I don't think it is helpful to make a UA fail the test suite of > css3-ui because they don't support something that is not required by > css3-ui. > > - Florian That's why there is a "may" in that sentence. Failing that test will not make the UA fail the required tests for conformance to css3-ui. My understanding.
