  div#containing-block
    {
      background: red url("support/bg-red-3col-3row-320x320.png");
      color: transparent;
      direction: ltr;
      font: 80px/1 Ahem;
      height: 320px;
      position: relative;
      width: 320px;
      writing-mode: vertical-rl;
    }

  div#containing-block > span
    {
      background-color: red;
      color: green;
      left: auto;
      position: absolute;
      right: auto;
      width: auto;

Layout calculation rules (such as those in CSS2.1, Section 10.3) that apply to the horizontal dimension in horizontal writing modes instead apply to the vertical dimension in vertical writing modes.
"
7.1 Principles of Layout in Vertical Writing Modes
http://www.w3.org/TR/css-writing-modes-3/#vertical-layout

So here, *right and *left properties are input into the §10.6.4 algorithms where *right properties refer to *top properties in the layout rules and where *left properties refer to *bottom properties in the layout rules.

"
If all three of 'top', 'height', and 'bottom' are auto, set 'top' to the static position and apply rule number three below.

3. 'height' and 'bottom' are 'auto' and 'top' is not 'auto', then the height is based on the content per 10.6.7, set 'auto' values for 'margin-top' and 'margin-bottom' to 0, and solve for 'bottom'
"

'left' + 'margin-left' + 'border-left-width' + 'padding-left' + 'width' + 'padding-right' + 'border-right-width' + 'margin-right' + 'right' = width of containing block

So:

     80px : right: auto: set to static position
  +
      0px : margin-right
  +
      0px : border-right-width
  +
      0px : padding-right
  +
  (based on the content) : width: auto
  +
      0px : padding-left
  +
      0px : border-left-width
  +
      0px : margin-left
  +
  (solve) : left: auto
    =====================
    320px : width of containing block

gives us:

     80px : right: auto: set to static position
  +
      0px : margin-right
  +
      0px : border-right-width
  +
      0px : padding-right
  +
     80px : (based on the content) : width: auto
  +
      0px : padding-left
  +
      0px : border-left-width
  +
      0px : margin-left
  +
  (solve) : left: auto
    =====================
    320px : width of containing block

And so computed left value must be 160px .
