No costs needed. That seems like an optimization based on pre-converting on the specified value level due to knowing what computed writing directon will be. That optimization is, of course, not compatible with DOM access to the specified values, so I'm not sure it's a valid optimization. Unless the specified-value behavior of these properties is _very_ weird. -Boris
