The minutes of Thursday's discussion with the TTML group are now 
available at https://www.w3.org/2017/03/23-tt-minutes.html#item02 (the 
item about tbrl defaults is a little way down the page).

You'll see that i wasn't able to convince the group to change the 
default for tbrl writing mode so that lines next to mongolian vertical 
text and ruby appear automatically to the right of the line when 
writingMode:tblr is used.  However, they did agree to include a note in 
the spec that tells Mongolian users how to set their styling so that 
this happens.
