[ttml2] Applying direction to a whole document (#1196)

r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/ttml2:

== Applying direction to a whole document ==
This is a comment from the i18n WG, however we recognise that it comes late in the process for 2nd Edition, so we recommend that if it is not fixable before your transition, you consider it when you start work on the 3rd Edition.

10.2.12 tts:direction
https://w3c.github.io/ttml2/index.html#style-attribute-direction

tts:direction only applies to p & span. Is it possible/useful to specify the base direction at a higher level (e.g. for the tt element)?  This would save time for content authors, especially those dealing with RTL scripts.  Does the writing-mode attribute address this?
