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.

"
4. 'top' is 'auto', 'height' and 'bottom' are not 'auto', then set 'auto' values for 'margin-top' and 'margin-bottom' to 0, and solve for 'top'
"

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

So:

  (solve) : right: auto
  +
      0px : margin-right
  +
      0px : border-right-width
  +
      0px : padding-right
  +
     80px : width
  +
      0px : padding-left
  +
      0px : border-left-width
  +
      0px : margin-left
  +
     80px : left
    =====================
    320px : width of containing block

And so computed right value must be 160px .
