--- Comment #31 from Roan Kattouw <[email protected]> ---
I solicited opinions from Trevor and Timo today. I've tried to summarize them
below; feel free to correct me if I've misrepresented

Trevor said that he believes that flipping of shadows, while it should be
implemented, should not be done by default, and he'd like to add a /* @flip */
tag for this case and other cases where we want to support flipping, but not
have it be the default action.

Timo argued that CSSJanus's primary goal is to make stylesheets that were
written for LTR work in RTL as well as possible, minimizing the number of
@noflip or @flip or whatever annotations that people have to put in to make
things work. That implies that we should only flip things by default if the
most common use case calls for that. Timo doesn't believe that flipping makes
sense for the most common uses of shadows, but he acknowledges he is neither a
designer (at least not primarily) nor a speaker of an RTL language, so he
thinks input should be solicited from those two groups.

In order to get that kind of input, could people who are familiar with the use
cases prepare screenshots of what RTL interfaces look like with and without
flipped shadows? That would be helpful especially for talking to people who are
knowledgeable about RTL but not necessarily about CSS or specifics of our UI.
