Status: Partially Accepted

Change Description:
https://github.com/w3c/html/commit/39dd173eebedc3f7c58c1a8dee8eb58bdccc6c19

Rationale: Introduction of a new attribute seems overkill for this situation
when bidi formatting characters already provide a solution for this problem.
However, we clarify that the directionality of each user-visible attribute on
an element with dir="auto" be determined from its content, by the usual
algorithm, independently of the element's content or that of the other
attributes. This adopts the solution from the WHATWG.
