I found a discussion in Sydney minutes[1], and found that the whole discussion misses writing-mode. > could propagate from the HTML attribute on the > body, but not propagate CSS 'direction' It doesn't work for writing-mode unfortunately. I'm ok to spec and change the behavior when different values are set on html and body, that's rare at least for writing-mode, but when set to only one of them, I'd like it to be honored. Either one is quite common, and I do not see interoperability issues when set to either, at least for writing-mode.
