I disagree. I think it depends on CJK vs. Latin context for sure. If I've got a string of Latin talking about winter and snowmen and stick one in the middle of the Latin text which is rotated 90 degrees, I'd expect the snowman to take on the rotation of the Latin content so it can be read with your head rotated sideways. Alex P.S. The write-up is excellent, I'll endeavour to read it in fine detail again. > - Florian > >
