Text direction is one thing, and locale is another thing. Locale is not a
setting for any document - it's an app setting. Or maybe we're not talking
about the same thing?

Also...

there will be no one true setting. Some presentations need to be displayed
right-to-left and others left-to-right. And the user might want to change their
mind about this. Or print RTL handouts for one audience and LTR handouts for
another audience.

What do you mean by "obey the ODF"? What are "x-platform"'s?

It is likely that you want a presentation's _author_ to tell you whether the
slide-sorter / handouts should be RTL or LTR. To do that, that choice needs to
be saved in the .odp file.
