I previously suggested: > > :lrt horizontal writing is supported and @dir has been set to 'lrt' > :rtl horizontal writing is supported and @dir has been set to 'rtl' > :ttb vertial writing is supported First, what is needed is relativity based on the principal writing mode chosen by the browser or user rather than relativity based on the capability of the browser. Even if a browser supports vertical writing, the pseudo selector should not apply when the user chooses horizontal writing as the principal writing mode (the writing mode of the body element) Second, Japanese and Taiwanese users will need a pseudo selector for horizontal writing. It has nothing to do with the @dir attribute but it should apply when the browser or user chooses "horizontal" as the principal writing mode. :lrt is insufficient, since it is tied to @dir.
