> if the language is "he" don#t we already know that the text is RTL? Not if the text is transcribed in latin script or some other script (the authors of BCP47 were explaining how that works to someone just last week, as it happens). Yes, people should use a script tag in that case, but nothing forces them to. > Are there any languages that use both RTL and LTR? Yes. For example, Azerbaijani. Language is not the same thing semantically as direction: there are different parameters to its use, and the places where you need to use it are different. We have been going around this tree for years, please just trust us. -- GitHub Notification of comment by r12a Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/224#issuecomment-221226477 using your GitHub account
