We already discussed the bullet position here:
   http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css2.1#issue-162

As for the text-align case, the value is named 'start' in CSS3 and I
suspect changing the behavior at this point would break things. Also
on the i18n lists, it was indicated that both behaviors ('start' and
a value that computes to either 'left' or 'right' at the point where
it is specified) are useful. I'm currently planning to add a keyword
to CSS3 Text that will allow this other effect. I strongly disagree
with changing CSS2.1 here.
