That permits LTR or RTL, bot not an empty dir="", or is it another
SGML oddity I've never before heard of ?
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.
