[css-writing-modes] Can't analyze a passage and find it redundantly technical

Hello,

I don't get the sense of this paragraph:

https://www.w3.org/TR/css-writing-modes-3/#propdef-writing-mode

The content of replaced elements do not rotate due to the writing mode:
images and external content such as from <iframe>s, for example, remain
upright, and the default object size of 300px×150px does not re-orient.
However embedded replaced content involving text (such as MathML
content or form elements) should match the replaced element’s writing
mode and line orientation if the UA supports such a vertical writing
mode for the replaced content. 

To me, 'replaced' elements are gone! Why being exact on px values? Why
should boxes follow writing-mode? What about:

The writing mode does only affect text-related elements, including
embedded elements with content written in separate scripts like MathML,
if the User Agent supports this...
