Interesting. There is also another usecase that I'm yet to see anyone implement: breaking lines end to start. Think of old cell-phone displays, as you keep typing numbers, they always keep the last line full of letters, and the first line partial. Something like: +-------+ | 012| |3456789| +-------+ Would be nice to let CSS handle that. behdad On 10/25/10 11:17, David Singer wrote: > It's for when CSS is used to style text that will be painted onto streets, american-style: > > > Ahead > School > Down > Slow > > (This is an important growth area for CSS, I am sure) > > :-) > > > On Oct 25, 2010, at 0:05 , John Daggett wrote: > >> Looking over the current CSS3 Writing Modes spec, I'm puzzling over what >> writing-mode 'horizontal-bt' is needed for?
