No, no, you're right, the important point I wanted you to read was INHERITANCE. <foo dir="ltr"> <bar> <!-- Has dir="ltr", from inheritance --> Bla bla </bar> Bla again </foo> > Yes, my question was why the draft needs dir="" at all, Because, as I said, otherwise, you could not express the fact that the direction of the text in the <bar> element above is "Not Known". Without dir="", you could not "cancel" the directionality of <foo> in its nested elements. _______________________________________________ IETF mailing list IETF@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
