    However, it does not specify the treatment of Ogham embedded in TTB
    text, since Ogham is the only script with both a required horizontal
    direction (LTR) and a required vertical one (BTT).

    As things now stand, Ogham must be wrapped in RLO...PDF brackets when
    mixed with vertical Han or Mongolian.
