** inline-table **


Steps:

1- Load

http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/CSS3WritingModes/vert-align-latin-baseline-inline-table-dhtml.html

into several browsers: say, Firefox 41 nightly build (you must use the 
latest nightly build of Firefox 41) and Chrome 45

2- Make sure that 'mixed' and 'baseline' radio buttons are checked

Firefox rendering: the inline-table margin box is centered within the 
line box

Chrome rendering: the inline-table is baseline-aligned within the line 
box in accordance with the baseline of its first row box.

-------

Proposal:

In vertical writing mode, when the central baseline is used as the
dominant baseline, then the baseline of an inline-table is halfway
between its under and over margin edges.

Webkit-based browsers would have to be fixed; Firefox would not have
any modification to do.
