This issue is applicable to Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Mongolian.

If you place the writing-mode property with a value of vertical-rl/lr on an individual table cell in a table that overall has a horizontal direction, you would expect the text in that cell to be displayed vertically, but in some browsers it isn't, unless the height of the td element is specified.
