I'm working on a chinese ebook with Monocle. For CJK (chinese, japanese, korean) text, we have a tradition of reading from top to down, right to left. Safari support this via css3:

```css
#content {
-webkit-writing-mode: vertical-rl;
}
```

the difference can be illustrate with this sample:

It seems Monocle assume only the left screen, aka **reading from left to right, top to bottom**. The right screen would require support of **reading from top to bottom, right to left**.

My question is, is it possible to add this feature? I'm new to this project, but if I would like to add this, are there any advise on how should i implement?

Thanks.
