The presentational results of this are unexpected. When all of the following text is ltr: |Here is some text [AND HERE IS MY QUOTE| |THAT CONTINUES ON THE LINE] and my text| |continues. | When the quote is of opposite-direction text: |Here is some text ETOUQ YM SI EREH DNA] | | [ENIL EHT NO SEUNITNOC TAHT and my text| |continues. | The borders ought to be on the other sides; instead of deciding on which side of the first/last box to draw the start/end decorations based on the element's 'direction' property, we should use the element's /parent's/ direction property.
