Excellent. Thanks for your work on this.

You're using a Mac, right? I've no current idea why make test isn't
working for you on that platform, as the test infrastructure is pretty
trivial. We're investigating that now.

In general, this looks fine to me (modulo the lack of test data, which
you've mentioned above). There are a few minor whitespace nits, which
can be fixed when we merge the change in. Additionally, there's a stray
commented-out chunk in css__set_writing_mode_from_hint. This, too is
trivially fixed, so I'm not concerned by it.
