It's true. I'll add a context here. For Mac, which has native meter (indicator) components, WebKit uses platform painter. But for platforms other than mac, WebKit use two gradient-filled <div>s (one for the bar and another for background) to render the <meter>, because such platforms don't have own native indicators.
Another idea to select the direction explicitly is to refer writing-mode or box-orient CSS property. I'm not sure whether this is a good idea though.
