I beg to differ. DIR=RTL (by the way, it is an attribute, not a tag) is
defined in HTML 4, so anyone using it *is* standard-compliant. You may
prefer to separate presentation specifications in stylesheets, but then:
a) It is debatable whether direction is a presentation attribute or
qualifies the essence of the text.
b) If your objective is cleaner design and maintenance, writing STYLE="direction: rtl"
within the HTML code is no better than writing DIR=RTL. Or so it seems
to me.
