I think the 'digits 1' value is somewhat odd for a property whose name
implies combination. It's effectively specifying that digits are
always upright. Specifying 'text-orientation: upright' is a much
better way to control this. Since there's no use case that I can see
for it, I think 'digits 1' should be invalid.
