The Unicode bidirectional algorithm INTENTIONALLY does not solve any problems related to vertically rendered scripts. The architects of the bidi algorithm have told us repeatedly that they consider vertical rendering issues to be out of scope. That is the way it is. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/
