[css shapes] Status of our comment I18N-ISSUE-274 [I18N-ACTION-272]

Hello CSS,

We notice that CSS Shapes [1] is in Last Call. In July of this year we raised an issue [2] related to bidirectionality and Shapes. In the course of discussing it, it was suggested [3] that the addition of an "image" value to "shape-outside" would address the need for rtlflip-awareness (assuming rtlflip is a thing).

Can you update us on whether you think this sufficiently addresses the issue of bidirectional image flipping? Also, whether a note indicating the inheritance of flipping behavior might be useful in Section 6.1.

Thanks (for I18N),
