writing modes on cell

The attached document is set to tb-lr (traditional Mongolien) as page style.
Therefor the left part of the table, whose cells do not have any style set,
stack their lines from left to right. The content of these cells explains what
is set in the right part of the table.
Because of the page style the table cells are ordered
A1 B1
A2 B2
A3 B3
A4 B4
A5 B5
A6 B6

B1 and B2 are set to "Horizontal". That generates a "lr-tb" writing-mode for
the cell. The RTL of cell B2 is done on paragraph level. RTL is not available
in the UI of the table formatting.
B3 is set to "Vertical (Top to Bottom)". That generates a "rl-tb" writing mode
for the cell. Notice that CJK characters are upright and the latin 2024 is
rotated.
B4 is set to "Use superordinate object settings". That is for the attached
document the "tb-lr" setting of the page style. Here too CJK characters are
upright and 2024 rotated.
B5 is set to "Vertical (Bottom to Top). That generates a
loext:writing-mode="bt-lr". That is in fact "sideways-lr". Notice, that the CJK
characters are rotated same as 2024.
B6 is not changed and shows the inherited "tb-lr". A writing mode "sideways-rl"
is neither implemented for page style nor for table-cells.
