Well, I do expect CSS3 to include "start" and "end" values for floats. "top" and "bottom" wouldn't present the same layout problems in vertical layout because they'd be analogous to "left" and "right" in horizontal layout. But then "left" and "right" would present those problems instead. I agree this is something that needs to be discussed. A lot of things in CSS2.1 don't translate to vertical text in an obvious way. ~fantasai
