This matches Opera's intent, if not implementation (as Presto doesn't
support vertical writing).

I'd like to avoid such switches as they create more interdependencies.
It's better to have names/values where the meaning is self-evident.
For example, 'text-indent' depends on the writing direction, while
'margin-left' doesn't.
