If vertical writing is not available as part of EPUB3
and CSS, implementations and e-books in Japan
and Taiwan are likely to be based on non-CSS
technologies.  A Japanese format (which is also
an IEC standard already) called XMDF does not
use CSS.  I am also aware of some EPUB forks
that do not use CSS for vertical writing but rely
on predefined HTML class names.
