I agree with Stuart here. Character rotation is a character effect, not a
whole-paragraph or whole-cell tool.

Why would you change an LTR script to RTL direction? In this case, the
character rotation and the writing direction features would be both missused.
If you want the text contained in a table cell to be read by tilting your head
to the right, cell rotation has to be used. What is wrong with using cell
rotation?
