r12a has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg as "i18n": == inline-base direction == 11.1.1. Definitions https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/text.html#TermInlineBaseDirection > inline-base direction > The primary direction in which content is ordered within a line or part of a line of text. It defines the "start" and "end" sides of a line or part of a line of text (relevant, for example to how the text-anchor property is applied). It is determined by the direction property. (**Note: the ordering of characters in a line of text is primary controlled by the Unicode bidi algorithm and not the inline-base direction.)** Not sure i understand the point in the last sentence (to which i added bolding). Depending on what characters are involved, it seems to me that the inline base direction is equally important as the bidi algorithm in laying out bidirectional text, since it informs the bidi algorithm about how to layout out the text. See https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/261
