ISSUE-50: The dir attribute in HTML5 does not have the same value as in ITS

Dir in HTML5

The dir attribute in HTML5 does not have the same value as in ITS

State:
CLOSED
Product:
MLW-LT Standard Draft
Raised by:
Yves Savourel
Opened on:
2012-09-11
Description:
The specification provides example for local Directionality markup in HTML.
But, while the example looks OK, the values for HTML5 dir are ltr|rtl|auto not rtl|ltr|rlo|lro.

We need, at least a note to explain this.

This also breaks the pattern we have that native markup like xml:lang, lang, xml:space have the exact same semantics as the corresponding ITS data categories.
