Sorry, the connector should have been "Or", not "And". That is, let's say that we decide that the span in <div dir="rtl"><foo><span>...</span></foo></div> should have LTR directionality. If, in the absence of custom CSS rules, it simultaneously gets direction:rtl, we have a mess, and if it has direction:ltr, we have a lack of backward compatibility. And I still do not understand the rationale for this proposal. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
