I'm not sure what the best option here, and what use-cases there are, however here are three options.

  1. Only horizontal-tb is supported.
  2. Setting writing mode is valid on the top level element, and everything down to the , /etc elements is internall consistent. (This is similar to how tables work, i.e. all boxes from table->td are internally consistent).
  3. Setting writing-mode is valid on any element.
  4. Use-cases should guide the decision here. From my weak understanding math is typically only displayed in HTB, however I'm not a domain expert.

    (2) May simplify implementations.

    Any tests which are created for MathML should test that feature in each writing mode.
