  <title>CSS Writing Modes Test: computed 'direction' of root element when 'writing-mode' for <body> propagates to viewport</title>

  <!--
  Issue 3066: [css-writing-modes] Does vertical writing mode of an HTML body
  element cause an orthogonal flow?
  -->
  <meta name="assert" content="When the root element has a <body> child element, then the principal writing mode is instead taken from the values of 'writing-mode' and 'direction' on such first child element instead of taken from the root element. In this test, a small script verifies that the computed value of 'direction' of the root element itself is not affected by such propagation.">
  <!--
  This test *only* verifies the computed value of 'direction' of the
  root element.
  This test does *not* verify if the 'writing-mode' value of
  the body element propagates to the root element.
