I see it exactly the opposite.

    One might need to know the text direction for correct 
representation of text embedded in the annotations (TextualBody), not 
for the correct respresentation of external resources.
    The external resources must have included inside the 
"files/bitstreams" all information required for a correct 
representation. It is not the responsability of annotations to correct
 wrong html/pdf/xml.
    (I might be a usecase for it ... but it is not included in the 
current version of the standard).

    Probably some selectors would need this information, the 
"textDirection" might be relevant for the text position selection. In 
that case ... the selector must set the value inside selector and not 
inside teh target/body
