Just a little comment for now; maybe I'll have something deeper to say later. There is at least one writing system in which phone numbers are not written from left to right: [N'Ko](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%27Ko_script). It is used increasingly in digital communication; for an example, see [this New York Times story from 2011](https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/11/magazine/everyone-speaks-text-message.html), and since then it grew even more. So, while you should assume that phone numbers, zip codes, credit card numbers, etc. are written from left to right in _most_ languages, you cannot assume it for _all_ languages. Perhaps it's enough to make this exception just for N'Ko (although maybe there are other languages that have such a feature, I'm not 100% sure). -- GitHub Notification of comment by amire80 Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4405#issuecomment-609016133 using your GitHub account
