--- Comment #5 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> ---
HTML has to be usable without CSS too. And is. As is WebVTT.

Rotating CJK ideographs makes about as much sense as rotating latin ones (which
is to say: some, but it's esoteric), or changing the colour, or changing the
font. I don't understand why HTML and WebVTT are different here.

(If any browser implements the CSS 'text-orientation' property then please feel
free to file a bug so that we add this to the list of allowed CSS properties.)
