[device-posture] Device posture and direction interaction (#151)

aphillips has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/device-posture:

== Device posture and direction interaction ==
(no particular section)
https://www.w3.org/TR/device-posture/

The device posture spec provides an API to report whether a device is `continuous` or `folded` (and changes between these device postures). This works with, for example, foldable devices to allow for richer experiences, such as those mentioned in the very nice explainer:

* https://github.com/w3c/device-posture/blob/gh-pages/README.md

It's unclear if any thought has been given, in the larger scope described by the explainer, to the impact of text direction or writing mode on the various APIs/properties. Some languages/cultures have variant 'page turn direction' expectations for vertical folding (see, for example, EPUB's [`page-progression-direction`](https://www.w3.org/TR/epub-33/#attrdef-spine-page-progression-direction). The device posture API isn't directly affected by this, but the group might want to include scenarios and requirements from this larger perspective (to avoid conflicts between physical positioning (`left`/`right`) vs. logical positioning (`start`/`end`).
