Styling vertical text, initial article and interactive tests

fyi, as mentioned on the telecon last Thursday, i have started work on 
an article that

1. explains how to style essentials for vertical text using the CSS 
writing-modes standard

2. shows workarounds that are needed for that support which is currently 
available in browsers (eg. vendor prefixes, avoiding certain tags, etc.)

3. lists issues for major browsers that need to be fixed.

the article comes with a set of pages that allow users to interactively 
test the effect of various CSS declarations on chinese and mongolian 
text. These are linked to from the top of the article, and are very 
useful in their own right.

please note that this is still a *very* early version, and I'm learning 
as i go. I will be developing it gradually as time goes on.
