Re: EPUB Accessibility: Discovery of the Writing Direction (DRAFT 1.0)

(cc Koji Ishii, Richard Ishida, and Florian Rivoal, they know way more than I do about this.)

Thanks Makoto,

just thinking out loud for the futureā€¦ wouldn't it be a better approach to have a media query dimension in CSS media queries on the writing direction? CSS has this notion of (Block flow direction) in[1] but I am not sure it can bound to media queries[2,3]. This would make the IDPF specific classes obsolete...

I realize that is a longer term solution that should be raised by the CSS WG. Just asking at this point...

Cheers

Ivan
