16:14:06 <Shervin> Najib: There is a section in the document for special cases. The question is that if we want to have the vertical text in there as well.

16:34:34 <Shervin> r12a: Some situations is that we have horizontal text and it's just rotated (e.g. book spine)
16:35:54 <Shervin> ...in some other cases you're mixing Arabic with Chinese or Mongolian written vertically.

16:40:10 <Shervin> r12a: There are complexities when mixing these scripts if vertical Arabic is written down the page
16:40:33 <Shervin> ...issues with line-breaking, etc.
16:44:58 <Shervin> Shervin: We need to distinguish between two parts of this; one, the vertical behaviour of text in Arabic as used in different contexts; margin-writing, table headers and footers, etc.
16:45:19 <Shervin> ...the second part is how vertical Arabic is interacting with other vertically written script.

16:45:50 <Shervin> r12a: How about the cinema signs? Any other examples of the sort?
16:49:17 <Shervin> ...because CSS has a provision of that sort; e.g. https://w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/articles/vertical-text/index-data/upright-ar-hi.html
16:51:33 <Shervin> r12a: Cinema signs are like the CSS behaviour with separate letters; top to bottom.

16:55:14 <Shervin> Najib: There might be common implemenations of a bahaviour and it's hard to change.
16:59:15 <Shervin> Shervin: There might be cases that the historical exampeles of a use-case of script which...
16:59:39 <Shervin> ...which might behave differently that the software implementation of them.
17:00:52 <Shervin> Najib: Arabic vertical text implementation from W3C point of view is at risk since there are not enough good implementations.
