We are stuck. Pseudo-selectors based on values specified in documents or stylesheets do not allow reasonable fallbacks from vertical writing to horizontal writing. Pseudo-selectors based on the writing mode chosen by the user or browser may cause circular interdependencies or conflicts. Some people are thus strongly against. New properties for specifying borders, etc. in relative to the writing direction chosen by the user or browser do have some implementation difficulties. Some people are thus strongly against. Recent implementations of EPUB in Japan have started to abuse existing margin, etc. properties by making them relative to the writing direction chosen by the user or viewer. I know that the CSS WG has decided not to change the current definition of these properties. As far as vertical writing is concerned, CSS is likely to fail, and I will have to try to persuade IDPF not to use CSS for vertical writing. Cheers, Makoto
