Yes, this is the core of the problem. Given the above, it really comes down to two questions:

 * should specs *aspirationally* add `dir` and `lang`, even when they know they are not implemented? y/n 
 * If yes, then should we have Infra (or some other doc) specify the semantics, presentation, and processing requirements of `dir` and `lang`?
