This is the CSS WG's response to an issue you raised on the last CSS
2.1 draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-CSS21-20030915). We want to
publish CSS 2.1 as a CR in about two weeks. Please let us know this
week if you think our response is wrong.

9.10 Text direction: the 'direction' and 'unicode-bidi' properties
"This seemingly one-sided requirement reflects the fact that,
although not every Hebrew or Arabic document contains
mixed-directionality text, such documents are much more likely to
contain left-to-right text (e.g., numbers, text from other
languages) than are documents written in left-to-right languages."
Probably what is meant is that dominantly RTL documents are more
likely to contain LTR parts than dominantly LTR documents are to
contain RTL parts.
CSS WG response:
Quoted text removed.
For the CSS WG,
Bert
