[svgwg] Issue: The 'direction' property (#287) marked as Needs editing

dirkschulze has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg as "Needs editing":

== The 'direction' property ==
https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/text.html#DirectionProperty

> It also may affect the direction in which characters are positioned if the unicode-bidi property's value is either embed or bidi-override. 
> ==>
> "It also affects the inline base direction if the unicode-bidi property's value is either embed, bidi-override, isolate, or isolate-override. "

(1. In CSS3 Writing Modes, besides 'embed' and 'bidi-override', it can also have effect on bidi reordering in conjunction with 'isolate' and 'isolate-override' - https://www.w3.org/TR/css-writing-modes-3/#unicode-bidi.
2. "direction in which characters are positioned" can be confused with "complete string reverse vs. the original order". I suggest using the term "inline base direction" instead.)
