Re: [bp-i18n-specdev] Value of default direction

I am in favor of changing the default base direction to AUTO. If the text in question contains no RTL characters, there will be no difference in effect between the default being LTR or AUTO.
If the text does contain RTL characters, then this is the use case for AUTO.
The one counter example would be when the author judges that the LTR direction is mandated even when the first strong character is RTL, so changing the default to AUTO would require the author to explicitly specify the direction as LTR. 
I expect that such a case is more unlikely than when AUTO does the right thing.
