Re: [clreq] Should bars in HTML progress, meter & input=range elements be read upwards or downwards in vertical text? (#500)

After discussion among the members of the CLreq TF, we felt that having the controls in the same direction as the flow of the text is more intuitive. If we consider the concept of reading from thermometers and bar graphs, the direction that indicates a value is consistent with the direction which the numbers are flowing (e.g. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) in a default direction that increases in value.
Our logic is that the direction of the control and the direction of the inline text should be the same.

Ideally something like this:

The label for the control translates to "Number of tickets (from 1 to 10)". It does read more intuitively if the controls were positioned as in the image.
