But the implementation doesn't do anything for vertical writing... so it matches the current spec. 128321 4 d 2016-12-14 22:23:14 +0000 I see, so we would change it from all the talk of top/bottom to instead be about block direction? I guess that makes sense, and is worth contemplating... is Blink interested in changing that, if we change the spec? 128322 5 falken 2016-12-15 00:44:27 +0000 Yes probably vertical centering using top/bottom doesn't make sense for vertical writing modes. I don't think think anyone has plans to implement this in Blink though, unless <dialog> gets more usage and there's demand for vertical writing mode support. 128325 6 d 2016-12-15 20:36:22 +0000 Since Bugzilla appparently won't let me CC people (like Tim Nguyen) unless they are already in the system, I moved this to GitHub: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2185
