Comment:
"For top-to-bottom text, the block-progression-direction always points 90 degrees counter-clockwise from the reference orientation vector because the only available top-to-bottom writing mode is tb-rl."
I think this sentence needs to be deleted, since SVG Tiny doesn't support vertical text. If it is there as a general statement, it should be made clearer, and corrected to say that tb-rl is not the only vertical writing mode.

I've removed the offending sentence, but be warned that it may return in
SVG Full. How would you reword this in light of writing-mode="tb-lr"
(for Mongolian, Manchu and Phags-pa script), a value not covered in SVG
1.1 Full?
Please let us know if this satisfies your comment, in terms of the SVG
1.2 Tiny spec.
