Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-12-07 23:48:10 UTC 
That's really a rendering issue, but yeah.

'direction' is probably the right solution; are RTL trackbars reversed in this way? Anyone know?

In the absence of further information, I'll put a paragraph in the rendering section that mentions that UAs are expected to honour 'direction' here.
