Agree. But you may want to style ltr/rtl text differently. So, to be
clear, the media queries above would never change the writing
direction, just allow styling to be keyed off the writing direction.
For rtl/ltr, the proposal is to use @dir to define the writing
direction, for ttb the proposal is to use the initial value of the
'writing-mode' property, which -- depending on the UA -- can be
influenced by the user.

Wouldn't you just leave out the media query if you want it to apply to
everything?
