I believe it is also out-of-scope for CSS. I think you need a W3C i18nWG Best Practices for Browser UI and BIDI Note or somesuch. CCing Tantek, though, since he's in charge of CSS3 UI. Tantek, the issue is that the i18n-bidi subgroup wants to recommend that scrollbar location always matches the OS defaults and does not change with the contents of the page, even if those contents are affected by bidi. ~fantasai
