Let me rephrase it: I don't think I know of a scenario where it is
critical for a resource limited device to support the selection of vertical
vs. non-vertical display of text.
Unless there is some such scenario, there's no need to even speculate about alternatives to existing markup languages. I have not seen a credible scenario.
What about a cell phone or PDA for use in China. Some users may prefer vertical display of text, but then the system needs to know what to do with Latin etc text embedded in the Chinese. Isn't that a credible scenario? Or are the Chinese to be forced to read their language horizontally on all electronic devices?
