It may be correct already, then I am just confused by what it says about orthogonal writing modes. If ever the algorithm branches based on writing mode and it actually changes the results, it should follow the same branch when the child is an orthogonal flexbox or if it is a parallel block that has orthogonal children.

If all off the above just works, then the algorithm doesn't even need to mention writing modes here...
