As an i18n expert and a > rtl prose writer, what do you think of the proposed changes ? I support them :) I would support parallel changes to most other properties that can have "left" and "right" values too, e.g. page-break-before and -after, and text-align (which would mean that the current rather clumsy text for the initial value "a nameless value that acts as 'left' if 'direction' is 'ltr', 'right' if 'direction' is 'rtl'" could just be replaced by "start"); and also for the margin, border and padding properties where "left" and "right" are part of the property name. (FWIW, Gecko currently supports these with a vendor prefix, e.g. -moz-margin-start etc).
