There was such a rule in CSS 2.0:
# /* Elements that are block-level in HTML4 */
# ADDRESS, BLOCKQUOTE, BODY, DD, DIV, DL, DT, FIELDSET,
# FORM, FRAME, FRAMESET, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, IFRAME,
# NOSCRIPT, NOFRAMES, OBJECT, OL, P, UL, APPLET, CENTER,
# DIR, HR, MENU, PRE, LI, TABLE, TR, THEAD, TBODY, TFOOT,
# COL, COLGROUP, TD, TH, CAPTION
# { unicode-bidi: embed }

Do we know why it was removed?
