[clreq] Positioning of : and ; in Chinese (#295)

r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/clreq:

== Positioning of : and ; in Chinese ==
This question arose after reading https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-4/#fullwidth-ambiguous

I've been trying to figure out how fullwidth colon and semicolon are rendered in Chinese & Japanese, mostly by applying various fonts to text on my Mac. So far i have come to the following conclusions:

**Japanese**

**Simplified**

![R](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4839211/81285206-15c4e080-9057-11ea-8bd2-e30fab5b8902.png) right-aligned and upright in vertical text

**Traditional**

(In each category there is the odd font that deviates from all the rest.)

Is this correct?  Is it oversimplified?
