I was not suggesting to remove it. What I am suggesting is to guide 
users to text-combine for Western use cases.

Once that is done, the use cases for text-orientation:upright and fonts 
that do not have vertical metrics become somewhat marginal. I would 
suggest to give room to implementations to deal with those cases.
