The 6 obsolete writing-modes values are: lr, lr-tb, rl, rl-tb, tb, and 
tb-rl
   SVG 1.1, section 10.7.2 Setting the inline-progression-direction
   http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html#SettingInlineProgressionDirection

The 'writing-mode' property in SVG specifies exclusively the 
inline-progression-direction for a 'text' element; so block flow 
direction should *not* be affected ...

lr and lr-tb are equivalent to CSS 'direction: ltr' and 'writing-mode: 
horizontal-tb'.

rl and rl-tb are equivalent to CSS 'direction: rtl' and 'writing-mode: 
horizontal-tb'.

tb, and tb-rl are the equivalent of CSS 'writing-mode: vertical-rl' but 
for only the inline-progression-direction.

As far as checking computed values of the 6 obsolete writing-mode values 
are involved, aren't the 2 following tests from Koji sufficient? Just 
asking ...

http://test.csswg.org/source/css-writing-modes-3/writing-mode-parsing-svg1-001.html

http://test.csswg.org/source/css-writing-modes-3/writing-mode-parsing-svg1-002.html

computed values of all/each of the 6 obsolete writing-mode values are 
tested in those 2 tests.

I looked at your attached SVG...

1-
If the 3 <text>s have the same x and y values, then aren't they going to 
overlap each other? Shouldn't they overlap?

2-
What's the expected result of

<g style="direction: rtl">
   <text x="300" y="100" style="writing-mode: lr; fill: blue;">1 2 
3</text>
</g>

3-
What's the expected result of

<g style="direction: rtl">
   <text x="500" y="100" style="writing-mode: rl; fill: orange;">1 2 
3</text>
</g>

4-
What's the difference of meaning between "shift the text string" and 
"reverse the order of all glyphs in the text."? I ask because I sincerly 
do not know, do not understand the difference of meaning in terms of 
rendering.

These expressions are coming from this sentence:
"
There are varying interpretations on whether this process causes 
"writing-mode: rl" to merely shift the text string or reverse the order 
of all glyphs in the text.
