A friend of mine found that scrollIntoView[1] doesn't work when principal writing mode is vertical, because the spec assumes text flows top to bottom, which is not true for vertical flow. He was developing a JavaScript to highlight text being read by SMIL[2]. I think we need to apply dimensional mapping[3] to CSSOM View. "Scroll an element into view"[4] must be logicalized. Whether to logicalize properties such as clientTop might need discussions. I think practical answer is to logicalize them as well because physical means many scripts must be re-written to run well in vertical flow, and I can't imagine good use of these properties as physical. Thoughts?
