My point is that there are unicode control characters that can already accomplish setting the base text direction. From https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-bidi-unicode-controls > The following example shows how these control characters could be used in plain text. The example given is setting the base direction of the text in am HTML `title` attribute. Having a separate property outside of the string itself for specifying the base text direction is fragile and will likely lead to loss of that information as it is propagated between systems. My proposal is to drop the textDirection property and add a note recommending including the unicode control characters in the string if it is needed. -- GitHub Notification of comment by aaronpk Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/335#issuecomment-237289648 using your GitHub account
