r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity: == It should be easier to specify direction for RTL script users == 10.2.12 tts:direction https://w3c.github.io/ttml2/spec/ttml2.html#style-attribute-direction Is it correct to assume that a person trying to use TTML for Arabic or Hebrew or any of the many other languages using so-called RTL scripts will need to explicitly add the tts:direction attribute to every `p`? If so, that's a significant disincentive to use TTML for people from those areas. One way to approach this might be to allow a file-wide default direction to be set, like using <html dir="ltr" in HTML. Another may be to make the default `auto`, so that tts:direction only needs to be applied when the auto-detection rules fail (ie. when text in a block begins with a character with a strong opposite directionality).
