Comment (by Moe):
Hi!
I could be wrong, but I think changing the default writing direction for
such fields can be somewhat tricky for RTL languages. As an Arabic-
speaking user, if I were to go to the Arabic version of a website, then
I'd expect form inputs to be RTL.
Most websites do that (since when you set dir="rtl" on the <html> tag, the
form inputs will automatically start from the right), so I expect the
default behavior of other websites to follow that as well.
Moreover, I think mixing writing directions of multiple form inputs won't
be quite nice (visually speaking, again, and I could be wrong). As you can
see in the screenshot, the text inputs are RTL, the email and password are
LTR, and it's a bit unappealing.
