well ... I recognize that I'm not the expert in the field, that's why I ask questions. I agree with you, that the language is not the one that dictates the direction, but I assume that the scripts are. If I understood it correctly ... we have languages which use both RTL scripts (mainly based on arabic alphabet) and LTR script (probalby all others). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijani_alphabet So .. this is my basic question. Does the language + script clearly identify the direction of the text? If yes, I consider the textDirection to be redundant information. I don't really mean that we shouldn't have such a field, but I want to have it clearly stated in the standard, which is the relationship and what to do if both exists but are inconsistent? My personal preference would be that language+script should be "the master" as this is already an ISO standard. -- GitHub Notification of comment by gsergiu Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/224#issuecomment-221228839 using your GitHub account
