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
