What worries me about this is that you should be able to change the writing direction for a given piece of content from, say, vertical to horizontal Chinese just by changing the writing-mode property. Then all the other property names you suggest would be incorrectly labeled and become much more confusing than if you'd used before, after etc. It is much easier to just get used to the terms before, after etc, in my view, and that's not so hard based on my experience.
