[css3-background] should box-decoration-break also apply to bidi reordering splits?

Dear i18nwg,
Bert and I have an issue open on whether 'box-decoration-break' should
also apply when boxes break apart due to bidi reordering. We're leaning
towards making 'box-decoration-break' apply, but were wondering if you
had an opinion. :)

Basically, what this does is determine whether the box is sliced across
a break (the default) or whether each piece of the broken box is
wrapped individually with its own border/padding/background/etc.

Here's a test case that shows such a situation:

This is ISSUE-182
