Do we know how exactly we are not interoperable? As you said before, IE, Safari, Chrome propagates from body to HTML, right? I don't know how to test propagation for direction, so can't test Firefox without writing-mode support. Shouldn't we try to understand better how it's not interoperable, and try to fix only where needed?
