    Najib: There is a section in the document for special cases.
    The question is that if we want to have the vertical text in
    there as well.

    r12a: Some situations is that we have horizontal text and it's
    just rotated (e.g. book spine)
    ... in some other cases you're mixing Arabic with Chinese or
    Mongolian written vertically.

    r12a: There are complexities when mixing these scripts if
    vertical Arabic is written down the page
    ... issues with line-breaking, etc.

    Shervin: We need to distinguish between two parts of this; one,
    the vertical behaviour of text in Arabic as used in different
    contexts; margin-writing, table headers and footers, etc.
    ... the second part is how vertical Arabic is interacting with
    other vertically written scripts.

    r12a: How about the cinema signs? Any other examples of the
    sort?
    ... because CSS has a provision of that sort; e.g.
    [13]https://w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/articles/vertical-text/in
    dex-data/upright-ar-hi.html
    ... Cinema signs are like the CSS behaviour with separate
    letters; top to bottom.

    ACTION r12a To Reach out to Uighur experts regarding figure 9
    of vertical text article

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-88 - Reach out to uighur experts
    regarding figure 9 of vertical text article [on Richard Ishida
    - due 2017-03-21].

    Najib: There might be common implemenations of a bahaviour and
    it's hard to change.

    Shervin: There might be cases that the historical exampeles of
    a use-case of script which...
    ... which might behave differently that the software
    implementation of them.

    Najib: Arabic vertical text implementation from W3C point of
    view is at risk since there are not enough good
    implementations.

    ACTION Najib Produce a draft for the vertical text section

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-89 - Produce a draft for the vertical
    text section [on Najib Tounsi - due 2017-03-21].
