Comment from the i18n review of: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/ Comment 2 At http://www.w3.org/International/reviews/0802-html5/ Editorial/substantive: S Tracked by: RI Location in reviewed document: 3.12.21 [http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#the-bdo] Comment: \"If the element has the dir [http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#dir] attribute set to the exact value ltr, then for the purposes of the bidi algorithm, the user agent must act as if there was a U+202D LEFT-TO-RIGHT OVERRIDE character at the start of the element, and a U+202C POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING at the end of the element.\" \"If the element has the dir [http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#dir] attribute set to the exact value rtl, then for the purposes of the bidi algorithm, the user agent must act as if there was a U+202E RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE character at the start of the element, and a U+202C POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING at the end of the element.\" The section about the <bdo> element does *not* leave the expected behavior completely up to the presentation layer - which is confusing. Content authors need to know if they should use CSS, if CSS would override the specified behavior etc.
