The reason for the current spec language is to keep the reordering results
consistent with plaintext. In plaintext, a paragraph of neutral characters is
ordered LTR.

I don't mind defaulting to the inherited direction when the element is empty,
if that makes for a better UI, but when it has neutral content, it should
default to LTR regardless of the inherited direction.
