Canadian aboriginal syllabics in vertical writing mode

Hi,

In current draft of UTR#50, the properties for Canadian aboriginal syllabics
are defined as "U; S; S;". But seeing the PDFs like
        http://www.gov.nu.ca/save10/English/Documents/Newsletters/Newsletter%203/Newsletter%203%20-%20Inuktitut.pdf
        http://www.cley.gov.nu.ca/pdf/Documentary%20Art%20Project_Inuk.pdf
it is questionable if the default value "U" is preferred.

I cannot exclude the possibility that this rotated text is forced by the
limitation of printing software, but, the tuning of the positions for
the small glyphs for glottal stop and final sounds (U+141C - U+142A,
U+14D0 - U+14D2, etc etc) should be discussed if "U" is preferred value.

Does anybody have "manually written" Canadian aboriginal syllabics in
vertical writing mode?

Regards,
