Only because of the way that Unicode handles vertical scripts by assigning them a LTR direction and leaving it up to higher levels to make the perpendicular flip. If someone wanted to include a vertical snippet of Ogham in a top to bottom script, they might desire to have the Ogham go from bottom to top, and that would make RTL Ogham reasonable in that context. It is a pedantic edge case that ought to be considered once raised (as it has been) even though I wouldn't recommend actively seeking out other such edge cases. :)
