Description

vertical-align on things other than table cells behaves differently than on table cells. I am only talking about table cells here.

Does "vertical" actually mean vertical, or does it mean block axis? if it means block axis, is that based on the writing mode of the table, or of the table cell?

I think it should be the block axis of the table cell (otherwise there is no way adjust alignment of the table cell content in that direction), but as far as I can tell, there's no spec that says that.
