Yes, you're right, I got myself mixed up. Sorry. But my "four point suggestion"
stands...

Wait, that can't be right... none of our writing modes has CJK glyphs set
sideways (without otherwise rotating them). So we should not be corresponding
to one of the 'sideways-lr' and 'sideways-rl' modes, but rather 'vertical-lr'
and 'vertical-rl' modes [1]. Or am I missing something?
