I forget which is which :) I think us web developers will soon be bale to add this to our designs though - I am interested in seeing if writing-mode is as consistently supported in ie9 too - don't suppose you know? nice blog.

It’s based on Ruby Annotation’s ‘complex ruby’ and is being updated for HTML5 <ruby>. Because of this, it’s also yet to be implemented beyond the default IE-level formatting. Ruby text will be used in combination with the W3C CSS Text Layout Module Level 3 properties direction, block-flow, and writing-mode for alternative text flow (such as vertical text), but again these have poor implementation.

I only have this case tried this on Firefox, but I think the behavior of Webkit, and other browser rendering engines which don't support writing-mode, will do the same.
