@gsergiu The UBA also applies to rich Unicode text or plain/rich non-Unicode text (with some limitations that stem from insufficient coverage, e.g. inability to support directional embeddings, overrides or isolates). Regarding media types other that "text", in my humble opinion, 'textDirection' may always appear in ANNOTATIONS for the "BODY", but would apply to "TARGETS" with certain media types only (probably still not limited just to "text"). > Should we recommend to use a different value than the auto? I do not see the spec recommends anywhere to default to 'auto'. It states though: "The notion of text direction is taken explicitly from the HTML5 [html5] dir attribute": https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/dom.html#the-dir-attribute." - And "The Body or Target _**MAY**_ have exactly 1 textDirection associated with it", where "MAY" (as opposed to "MUST") suggests the default is "null", and the text direction is decided by an external resource exclusively. -- GitHub Notification of comment by lkemmel Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/348#issuecomment-245011830 using your GitHub account
