To get RTL you simply use a cue text which is RTL according to the BiDi algorithm, and you can use ‎ and ‏ to where necessary in mixed-directionality text. Note, however, that the equivalent to vertical:rl for horizontal text would be control over which direction additional lines of texts grow, up or down. We don't have explicit control over that, even though the cue placement algorithm does move whole cues up or down.
