There's no reason to introduce the added complexity of ITS here.  I 
recognize that it's not a lot of added complexity, but ITS would add the 
need to support another new namespace and new MUST-level requirements 
that simply aren't needed.  Further, Atom bidi does not need the rlo and 
lro values to indicate bidi overrides and ITS does not provide a means 
of explicitly indicating that no base directionality has been set (e.g. 
dir="") which is an important case for feeds aggregating content from 
multiple sources.
