That's arguable: I'd say that rules tend to be more common parallel to
the progression direction.  So while I agree with you for left-to-right
or right-to-left text, I think you'll find horizontal rules to be in
the minority for vertical text.

This could be defaulted in the standard, but it's not *that* onerous
to always specify, is it?  (I think it makes DSSSL code clearer, given
that we tend to perceive vertical and horizontal lines as different
things.)
