--- Comment #5 from Jonathan Clark <[email protected]> ---
Eyal's objection is legitimate and grounded in natural language, but given the
text of the ODF spec and how it's been interpreted so far, what we have here is
probably the most realistic approach.

As part of this fix, I think we should also file a change request with the ODF
committee, asking them to define the semantics of style:tab-stop style:type.
Specifically, we should ask them to define "left" to mean aligned from the
start of the text, and "right" to mean aligned from the end of the text, always
relative to paragraph and layout direction. This would match our
implementation, and would also make the ODF spec explicitly cover the TB cases
which are presently underspecified.

I'm less sure about the use cases for the actually-from-left and
actually-from-right tab stops requested in the original post, but I've never
even needed to use the other tab stop types before so I might not be the target
audience. Maybe Eyal can elaborate on this request.

'left' is the default value, per the ODF standard.
