The current Writing Modes draft says:
# If a box has a different block flow direction than its containing block:
#
# If the box has a specified display of inline, its display computes
to inline-block. [CSS21]
# If the box has a specified display of run-in, its display computes
to block. [CSS21]
# If the box is a block container, then it establishes a new block
formatting context.
How (if at all) will this change if the proposal to introduce
writing-mode:sideways-lr and sideways-rl values is adopted?
I'm assuming we'll go for something along the lines of:
# If a box has a different computed value for writing-mode than its
containing block, .....
so that in an example like:
<div style="writing-mode:vertical-lr">Hello World
<span style="writing-mode:sideways-lr">foo bar</span>
</div>
the <span>'s display will compute to 'inline-block' rather than
'inline'. Is this correct?
Thanks,
JK
