Does this need to be behind a separate pref from the rest of vertical text?  Or is it already in shippable or near-shippable condition?

I'm hoping it can land in a pretty-much-shippable condition as soon as the CSS WG confirms the decision on revising writing-mode and text-orientation (bug 1193488). I need to write some testcases, and there are a couple of issues I'm aware of that still need work (text-align is flipped, and text-decoration lines are misplaced) but it's close to ready.
Update to part 1 -- for sideways-lr mode, inline frame reordering needs to happen even if there's no actual bidi.

Have you tested that float and clear (both physical and logical values) behave sensibly for sideways-lr?  (I remember there were a bunch of issues with that the last time we were dealing with the float manager.  I think many of them have gone away now that it's no longer possible to switch between sideways-rl and sideways-lr within the same block formatting context, but I'm not sure they *all* went away.)

Can you explain the reason for the "direction --> isRTL" conversion here? (Most of the the changes in this patch are in this category.)

Does 'direction' (-1.0 of 1.0) not have the right value for the logic here, if we're sideways-lr? (If so, should we just get rid of .direction entirely? After this patch, I only see one usage remaining in this file, and maybe that needs removing (or at least could be removed) too.)

gfxTextRunFactory:: needs to be de-indented by 1 space here, I think. (It's not part of the parenthesized expression, so it shouldn't be aligned inside of the parens.)

In our existing writing-modes, LTR text always runs in the direction of increasing physical coordinates (left-right or top-bottom), and RTL text is the reverse of that. So we don't clearly distinguish between bidi-RTLness (reversal of the inline direction) and inverse direction at logical/physical conversion. But with sideways-lr, we need to make this distinction: so 'isRTL' means we're reversing the progression of glyphs within the line, while 'direction' is applied when converting logical (textrun) to physical coordinates.

So here, when we're adding a spacing amount (or glyph width, etc.) to the inline-axis coordinate, we need to know whether we're dealing with bidi-LTR or bidi-RTL (i.e. .isRTL), not whether that inline-axis will ultimately run "forwards" or "backwards" in physical coordinates (.direction).

Here in gfxFont, we are mostly dealing with the .isRTL kind of directionality, but the .direction field is still used quite a bit by the higher-level code in gfxTextRun, IIRC.

Could you restore the parens on the last two lines here? (around each operand of the outer ternary statement)

IMO they made this easier to quickly skim.  (There are 3 different ternary statements intertwined here, whose logic could conceivably be mixed in a variety of ways.  Parens make the grouping/structure a little clearer.)

r=me with that.

pt 4 - Reverse the direction of text-decoration offsets in sideways-lr mode

r=me on part 4, but can you make sure we've got tests for this? (text-decoration drawing with sideways-lr)

I'm not 100% sure where the "0" of our coordinate-system is in this code, so I can't be sure that the "multiply by -1" strategy is sufficient to reverse the decorations. (I can see how it *would* do the right thing, if the coordinate system's choice of "0" is correct, but I also can see how it could easily be broken if "0" is too far away.)

It doesn't look to me like the reftest patches (parts 7 and 8) exercise the various text-decoration values right now. Can you add some tests that do, either here or in a different reftest patch?

Maybe this variable should be named "isSidewaysLR"?

Since...
 (a) I think that's what you're basically checking for here (?)
 (b) "sideways-left" is no longer a term used in CSS (I think?), so it's non-obvious to humans what that term might mean. (whereas "sideways-lr" is defined in the spec)

This </b> tags (and another lower down) are unbalanced -- there are no opening <b> tags for them to be closing. So: please drop them (or balance them if you meant for them to be here).

This applies to the corresponding reference case (4-ref), too.

Yes, it's identical to vertical-rl as far as table layout is concerned. But I'll add a testcase with that writing-mode value too, for completeness.

It's intended to verify that successive table row groups (i.e. tbody elements) are ordered properly, in addition to the ordering of the table rows *within* each group (tbody).

I agree it looks like a possible mistake, though, partly because of all the implicitly-closed elements that are being used. For better clarity, I've added explicit </tr>, </tbody>, </thead> and </tfoot> tags in these tests, leaving only the <td> elements depending on implicit closing.

I thought I'd seen this work OK, but on further testing it turns out floats don't quite work correctly in sideways-lr: they "float" nicely to the expected side of the containing block, but something's wrong with how we're tracking the available flow area, and the following content fails to wrap beside the float; it's as if it always specified 'clear:both'.

So it looks like we need an additional patch here to fix whatever's confused in the float manager.
Flags: needinfo?(jfkthame)
The problem with floats in sideways-lr is caused by LogicalRect::LineLeft/LineRight returning the wrong values. This was an error in the part 1 patch here; while it's correct to test IsInlineReversed() in place of IsBidiLTR() in physical-coordinate accessors, this isn't true for LineLeft() and LineRight(); line-left in writing-mode:sideways-lr will always be physical bottom, while inline-start depends on bidi directionality. So this reverts one chunk of the part 1 patch (I'll fold it in before landing), and fixes the behavior of floats. Reftests coming up next...

It looks like these are all slightly-tweaked copies of existing test files -- so it probably makes sense to use 'hg cp' (followed by minor tweaks) to generate them, I think?

You could, for example, generate a "hg cp"-based patch by:
  - Backing up all of the new tests somewhere.
  - Pop off this patch (removing these new tests from your tree).
  - Run "hg cp $oldTestFile $newTestFile" to generate all the new test files as copies of existing tests (possibly in a scripted way).
  - ...and then finally, restore all your backup files, stomping on these fresh copies.

At that point, if you generate a new patch file with 'hg commit' / 'hg qnew', it'll only show your actual tweaks.
Flags: needinfo?(jfkthame)
(It looks like the test files, at least, are just tweaked versions of the to the rtl-vlr test files. The reference cases are a bit more different, as one might expect, so 'hg cp' may make less sense for those.)
Yes, exactly: these are copies of the *-vlr tests with writing-mode changed, and references modified as needed. Here's a version of the patch that uses 'hg cp' to track that history better.

Here's a simple reftest for text-decoration in sideways-lr mode. As it compares sideways-lr with horizontal text rotated using transform(), I was expecting a certain amount of fuzz; a pixel-perfect comparsion seemed unlikely. Quite pleasantly surprised that it only needs an annotation on a couple of platforms, actually.

Does this code need adjustment to work with 'sideways-lr', or does alt-text work correctly in that writing mode?  (IIRC there's overlap between sideways-left & sideways-lr functionality, so there might still be something that needs fixing here.)

If there's still an update needed here (for sideways-lr now), could you either fix the issue as part of this bug, or preserve the XXX comment with updated language and file a bug on taking care of that?  (Also, this comment suggests that we might want reftests for image alt-text in sideways-lr writing-modes. Maybe file a followup on that, if that's not already covered elsewhere.)

I tried image alt-text in sideways-lr, and AFAICT it worked fine without any adjustment here; the alt-text appeared on the same baseline as surrounding text (including when I gave it a wildly different font size), so I don't think there's anything more needed here.

(The comment was rather speculative in the first place, I suppose, given that we hadn't started on sideways-left implementation and were not entirely clear exactly how it would be handled.)
OK, sounds good.
