CSS text, as implemented by modern browsers, supports lots of features for international text --- Unicode, complex script shaping, complex linebreaking, bidi (including mixed directions), font fallback, @font-face ... vertical text isn't there mainly because there's very little demand for it on the Web, so far. Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." [Isaiah 53:5-6]
