    I wonder if there _is_ any definitive answer. As the FAQ entry says:
    “Unlike the bidirectional case, the choice of vertical layout is usually
    treated as a formatting style”. Vertical layout is more common for some
    scripts than others, but it could be used for any script. Even the Latin
    script is fairly often written vertically in special contexts:

    H
    E
    L
    L
    O
