The key problem here is that to do this you need to somehow layer new logical xxx-start, xxx-end, xxx-begin, xxx-end properties onto the existing physical properties. The resulting property explosion makes for a rather confusing authoring model. I realize in some instances logical properties "make sense" but I think the resulting plethora of properties makes the CSS authoring model much more confusing. If you have a specific proposal in mind we can discuss it but I would ask that you read through past discussions so that we don't rehash those. Regards, John Daggett
