The current values of "rtl" and "ltr" for the "direction" property can produce unexpected results in situations where the content of an element can be either right-to-left or left-to-right text. See for example http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224685, especially comment 4. For such situations it would be useful to have a value "auto", indicating that the direction depends on the intrinsic direction of the content. To determine the direction, the UA should use the algorithm described in rules P2 and P3 of the Unicode Bidi Algorithm at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/#P2Received on Wednesday, 19 May 2004 03:10:09 GMT
