Comment on Atom BIDI draft

Hello,

This mail is on behalf of the i18n core Working Group.

We have discussed [1] the "Atom Bidirectional Attribute draft" [2] and 
would like to ask for the following change:

atomCommonAttributes =
       attribute xml:base { atomUri }?,
       attribute xml:lang { atomLanguageTag }?,
       attribute dir { "ltr" | "rtl" | "" }?,
       undefinedAttribute*
to
atomCommonAttributes =
       attribute xml:base { atomUri }?,
       attribute xml:lang { atomLanguageTag }?,
       attribute dir { "ltr" | "rtl" | "" | *"rlo" | "lro"* }?,
       undefinedAttribute*


The values "rlo" and "lro" are necessary for bidirectional override. If 
you agree on this change, additional changes in the text will be 
necessary. We can discuss these as a further step.


Thank you,

Felix
