Thank you for the info, I misunderstood when we discussed about inheriting
writing-mode from HTML to SVG.

I wrote a simple test how Gecko handles this[1] and figured out that I was
wrong:

1. Gecko supports "vertical-rl" both in HTML and SVG and inherits
2. Gecko no longer supports "tb*" in either HTML nor SVG

It was a bit of surprising to me that Gecko does not recognize "tb" in SVG.
Is this intentional? I can't find "vertical-rl" in SVG 1.1 nor 2.0. Is it
in 3.0 draft?
