[i18n-activity] What do the writing-mode and direction properties do on view-transition pseudo-elements? (#1625)

bert-github has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity:

== What do the writing-mode and direction properties do on view-transition pseudo-elements? ==
8.3. [Setup view transition](https://www.w3.org/TR/2022/WD-css-view-transitions-1-20221124/#setup-view-transition)

> Set capture’s [old styles](https://www.w3.org/TR/2022/WD-css-view-transitions-1-20221124/#captured-element-old-styles) to the following:
> [...]
> * [writing-mode](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-writing-modes-4/#propdef-writing-mode)
> The [writing-mode](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-writing-modes-4/#propdef-writing-mode) of element.
> * [direction](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-writing-modes-3/#propdef-direction)
> The [direction](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-writing-modes-3/#propdef-direction) of element.

And similar in 8.9. [Update pseudo-element styles](https://www.w3.org/TR/2022/WD-css-view-transitions-1-20221124/#update-pseudo-element-styles).

These properties are set on elements that are images. But they don't have effect on images, do they? In other words, would anything change if these properties were omitted from the style for these view-transition pseudo-elements?

If they do have an effect, a note or an example could be useful.
