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.

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

r12a: There are complexities when
mixing these scripts if vertical Arabic is written down the
page
... issues with line-breaking, etc.
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.
... the second part is how vertical Arabic is interacting with
other vertically written scripts.

r12a: How about the cinema signs?
Any other examples of the sort?
... 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
... Cinema signs are like the CSS behaviour with separate
letters; top to bottom.
ACTION r12a To Reach out to Uighur experts regarding figure 9 of vertical text article
<trackbot> Created ACTION-88 - Reach out to uighur experts regarding figure 9 of vertical text article [on Richard Ishida - due 2017-03-21].
Najib: There might be common implemenations of a bahaviour and it's hard to change.
Shervin: There might be cases
that the historical exampeles of a use-case of script
which...
... which might behave differently that the software
implementation of them.
Najib: Arabic vertical text implementation from W3C point of view is at risk since there are not enough good implementations.

<trackbot> Created ACTION-89 - Produce a draft for the vertical text section [on Najib Tounsi - due 2017-03-21].
