Table cells don't handle vertical direction properly
This issue is applicable to Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Mongolian.
If you place the writing-mode property with a value of vertical-rl on an individual table cell, you would expect the text in that cell to be displayed vertically. This doesn't work as expected in all browsers: some don't apply vertical writing mode, or leave the text horizontal but rotate the CJK characters to the left.
