Re: [svgwg] Confused about 'writing-mode' with 'direction' (#618)

The SVG Working Group just discussed `'writing-mode' with 'direction'`.

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Topic: 'writing-mode' with 'direction'<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> github: https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/618<br>
&lt;chris> https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/629<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Chris: I'd initially thought this was a CSS issue, but fantasai threw it back to us, because this really comes down to x and y and text-anchor.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: So the question is, if you have writing mode tb and direction rtl is start "top" or "bottom"?<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Chris: Yes, and as fantasai suggested there may be complications with issue 629<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: I'm not sure they are really dependent on each other. It's about alignment in the orthogonal direction.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... much of these may both be caused by SVG 1.1 spec text that needs to change to match changed property definitions in `writing-mode` and `dominant-baseline`.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> ... probably again, we need to take a test-first approach and see if the spec actually defines behavior.<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Dirk: But do we have agreement on what should happen?<br>
&lt;AmeliaBR> Amelia: Maybe come back with tests for all the combinations, but no references &amp; then we can go through and discuss what should happen.<br>
