It also contradicts the opening sentence of 3.3.2. Clearly latin text can be used alongside vertical chinese in some situations. How about saying the following: > The horizontal nature of the Latin script results in a convention that romanized annotations representing pronunciation are usually only used alongside horizontal Chinese text. Or we could remove the mention of latin script characteristics altogether, and say: > Romanized annotations representing pronunciation are usually only used alongside horizontal Chinese text. To make things clearer still, we could add another sentence immediately after saying: > (Latin script used for bilingual annotations or interlinear comments, on the other hand, may well be associated with vertical text.) I would break the paragraph at that point. 3.3.4.1 Basic Requirements http://w3c.github.io/clreq/#h-basic-requirements The first sentence needs to read > Romanization is normally only available in horizontal writing mode otherwise it contradicts the second point, which says > In special cases where Romanization is needed in vertical writing mode ...
