Yes, I'm concerned as well. I'd like to see an overview of all the direction-dependent properties/aliases/values that one plans to propose. For example, will there be aliases for the top/right/bottom/left properties? In general, I do not believe one can simply switch writing direction and reuse the same style sheet; there are more properties that should be adjusted when the writing direction is changed. As such, I believe your :rtl, :lrt, :ttb proposal has the potential for producing better typography as you can add more declarations. E.g., p:rtl { font-family: ...; margin-right: ...; } p:rtl em { letter-spacing: ...; } > Can we try to solve the problem some other way? > E.g. by introducing something like single 'orientation' property > instead of the whole bunch?
