That's not a good choice, because of possible cases like this:

<input type="hidden" name="foo_dir" value="bar">
<input type="text" name="foo">

This form will submit "foo_dir=bar" if the browser does not support this
proposal, but if it does and the user submits the form with the direction of
the second input changed, the form will submit "foo_dir=rtl" or "foo_dir=ltr".
