How about also allowing the values "lro" and "rlo" as used in xhtml2. [1]
Yeah, I'm just not yet sure whether these are strictly necessary. We
need to explore this.
I don't think they are necessary - you can probably get by with Unicode
control chars - but it might be a good idea for consistency. Otherwise
you'll sometimes be using the dir attribute and sometimes Unicode control
chars.
The dir should only ever impact Language-Sensitive elements and
attributes so term would not be affected but label would be.
Ok. I missed that.
For example in atom:link you would think the direction would
unambiguously apply to the title attribute, but say a future revision or
extension added a description attribute - suddenly it's not so obvious
anymore.
If the new attribute is Language-Sensitive then dir would apply.
But that means you can't have one attribute being RTL and the other LTR (say
an Arabic title with an English description).
