Re: [web-annotation] The textDirection and processingLanguage properties are not needed

Yes , I expressed a similar opinion, that some people need it, and 
they should remain in the standard as long a no better solution is 
proposed. 

However, the people the didn't participated in the past discussions 
are quite right to say that the fields are not needed, as there is no 
real explanation in the standard about who needs, this fields, given 
the existance of the language tags and implications of redundant 
information. 
(you might remember also discussions on redundant fields for External 
resource)

Given this ... I claim that even this ticket is more about improper 
documentation of the 2 fields, that about their exclusion from the 
standard. And I hope that we have a agreement on this point.... 
otherwise we spend again time for long discussion that end up with 
"won't fix".

I find it more appropriate from the process point of view to accept 
that the ticket is partially valid, create a new ticket for that part,
 and than close the current ticket. (I cannot enforce this work 
process, but it is a little bit frustrasting to invest time in 
discussions, that end up with the conclusion .. you are right but we 
won't fix)

I would be great if the community members would have more time to 
contribute with very concrete/valid solutions, but this is very hard 
.. when we are not aware about past discussions.

So ... I hope I can create new tickets tomorrow, that it will be fine 
for me to close this issue ..
