RE: [css3-writing-modes] Latin scripts upright in vertical flow means...what?

That's possible, but as Ryosuke said, I think we need practical use cases, and I don't have one right now with me.

I had an offline conversation with John and he said he may have seen a font that requires such behavior, so I'll look into it.

If you, or anyone else, has a good use cases, I'd love to hear.

Just two cents: it it possible provide a CSS construct for specifying text orientation based on UCS code values?  Such a mechanism would allow both of your options.
