Description

For text-combine-upright the spec currently says:

This property only has an effect in vertical writing modes.

And for sideways writing modes:

The writing mode is vertical, while the typographic mode is horizontal.

So it sounds like text-combine-upright should be applied there? Is my understanding correct?

It may be worth a note stating that the four writing modes are included.
