- Description:
- From Sylvain:
Currently, CSS3 Text Layout defines the writing-mode property as taking:
lr-tb | rl-tb | tb-rl | bt-rl | tb-lr | bt-lr
In SVG1.1, Second Edition [2], writing-mode supports :
lr-tb | rl-tb | tb-rl | lr | rl | tb | inherit
1) In addition to the inherit keyword, SVG adds shorthand values
for lr-tb (lr), rl-tb (rl) and tb-rl (tb).
2) SVG also drops bt-rl, tb-lr and bt-lr.
To make both authors and implementors lives easier - especially in mixed
documents - both WGs should harmonize the values this property supports.
At a minimum, I propose that the CSS3 definition of writing-mode:
1. Include the inherit keyword
2. Include the shorthand values defined by SVG i.e. lr, rl and tb. - Related Actions Items:
