--- Comment #4 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> ---
Wait! We can't proceed with this patch. It turns out, that what we write aren't
really Start and End tabs. We are actually using faux switching of tab
directions, when switching paragraph direction.

To see this, create a document with left tabs at 1, 2, 3 cm and right tabs at
4, 5, 6 cm. Then write an FODT. You'll get:

        <style:tab-stops>
          <style:tab-stop style:position="1cm"/>
          <style:tab-stop style:position="2cm"/>
          <style:tab-stop style:position="3cm"/>
          <style:tab-stop style:position="4.001cm" style:type="right"/>
          <style:tab-stop style:position="5.001cm" style:type="right"/>
          <style:tab-stop style:position="6.001cm" style:type="right"/>
        </style:tab-stops>

forget about the inaccuracy. The point is that the left tabs - well, we don't
know what they are, but the right tabs are actually right tabs.

The same kind of switching occurs today, still, for paragraph text alignment,
as a legacy from the (very recent) times when we didn't directly support Start
and End.

So, Akaki Dzidziguri, it would be more complicated than just switching labels.

Moreover - there is also the matter of what happens when we are in tbrl or tblr
writing mode, and how _that_ should be labeled.
