Wow, we have to be careful. If we do not say left-to-right, then this means an RDFa processor will have to adapt itself to the document language. Let alone the fact that I am not even sure what top-down would mean. Even a Japanese HTML file is written in left-to-right as far as the element tags etc are concerned. I think such a change in wording would do much more harm than good!
