Hi,
The "dir" attribute of Atom allows an empty string indicating that no
base-direction is specified. However, the one in HTML allows the value of the
attribute to be either "ltr" or "rtl", the empty string leads to extra cost in
transforming Atom to HTML.
<xsl:if test="@dir='ltr' or @dir='rtl'">
<xsl:attribute name="dir">
<xsl:value-of select="@dir" />
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
In additional, dir="" can be replaced by not using any "dir" attribute in the
element. So, I don't think there is a need to allow dir="".
Regards,
Franklin
