<p>An <a>atomic property</a> that sets the <a

class="externalDFN">encoding</a> flag to the single provided string
value, which MUST be a defined in [[!encoding]]. The default is
<code>"utf-8"</code>.</p>

Unless someone actually standardized on "utf-8" as the casing+spelling
for the encoding, which would be unfortunate.


Not editorial, but is there a reason that tableDirection supports
"default" and "textDirection" does not?

<dt id="table-group-direction"><code>tableDirection</code></dt> <dd>
<p> An <a>atomic property</a> that MUST have a single string value
that is one of <code>"rtl"</code>, <code>"ltr"</code> or
<code>"default"</code>. Indicates whether the tables in the group
should be displayed with the first column on the right, on the left,
or based on the first character in the table that has a specific
direction. The value of this property becomes the value of the <a
href="http://w3c.github.io/csvw/syntax/#dfn-table-direction"
class="externalDFN">direction</a> annotation for all the tables in the
table group. See <cite><a
href="http://w3c.github.io/csvw/syntax/#bidirectional-tables">Bidirectional
Tables</a></cite> in [[!tabular-data-model]] for details. The default
value for this property is <code>"default"</code>.

<dt id="cell-textDirection"><code>textDirection</code></dt> <dd> <p>
An <a>atomic property</a> that MUST have a single string value that is
one of <code>"rtl"</code> or <code>"ltr"</code> (the default).
Indicates whether the text within cells should be displayed by default
as left-to-right or right-to-left text. The value of this property
becomes the <a href="http://w3c.github.io/csvw/syntax/#dfn-column-text-direction"
class="externalDFN">text direction</a> annotation for the <a
href="http://w3c.github.io/csvw/syntax/#dfn-column"
class="externalDFN">column</a>. See <cite><a
href="http://w3c.github.io/csvw/syntax/#bidirectional-tables">Bidirectional
Tables</a></cite> in [[!tabular-data-model]] for details.

You're correct. The note wasn't a generic s/// wild card, more of a
"please review all and check w/ an en-US dictionary, but please don't
make me cite each instance".

I'm happy w/ what's in the diffs. I don't plan to actually review the
document again at this time (I have a bunch of other documents I'd
like to review first).
