They would be stacked horizontally. Based on your previous testcase in a top-to-bottom writing mode ('writing-mode: vertical-rl;') - View in IE 8/9 or a recent Chrome build or WebKit nightly: http://dev.l-c-n.com/_temp/test-cssd20110606.html Note that 'width' is not applied at all, for the second (red background) div, I applied a 'height' instead. That is the correct behaviour (physical vs logical values).
