Getting the right interaction with the values that *do* map to CSS would be particularly tricky. I expect the likely outcome would be to map to a nonstandard CSS value for the direction property. That seems to me like CSS is falling down on the job. Maybe it would have been better if CSS never got involved in defining directionality, but that's not the world we live in. Having text direction controlled by a mix of CSS and non-CSS mechanisms is likely to be needlessly confusing and hard to implement. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
