Re: [CSS21] bidi, text-align, and list markers

  Hi Fatasai,

Thanks for the clarification. With regard to your third point I would 
point out there is a relevant use-case for aligning the bullet on the 
basis of the direction of the list container instead of the <li> 
element. In 2004 NTT DoCoMo produced a specification for Bi-di support 
with its i-Mode service. Aligning the bullets on the basis of the list 
container direction was one of the requirements. I would assume that 
this behaviour has been implemented in several Nokia and Symbian phones 
and I know it is the standard behaviour of the Openwave (now Myriad) 
mobile browser. This means that there is existing XHTML content and UAs 
that have this behaviour.

I would be interested to know what use-cases influenced the CSS WG decision.
