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, *-top and *-bottom properties are input into the §10.3.7 algorithms where *-top properties refer to *-left properties in the layout rules and where *-bottom properties refer to *-right properties in the layout rules.

"
2. 'left' and 'right' are 'auto' and 'width' is not 'auto', then if the 'direction' property of the element establishing the static-position containing block is 'ltr' set 'left' to the static position, otherwise set 'right' to the static position. Then solve for 'left' (if 'direction is 'rtl') or 'right' (if 'direction' is 'ltr').
"

'top' + 'margin-top' + 'border-top-width' + 'padding-top' + 'height' + 'padding-bottom' + 'border-bottom-width' + 'margin-bottom' + 'bottom' = height of containing block

So:

    160px : top: auto: set to static position
  +
      0px : margin-top
  +
      0px : border-top-width
  +
      0px : padding-top
  +
     80px : height
  +
      0px : padding-bottom
  +
      0px : border-bottom-width
  +
      0px : margin-bottom
  +
   (solve) : bottom: auto
    =====================
    320px : height of containing block

And so computed bottom value must be 80px .
