a horizontal one, by using 'direction: rtl' or another property, so the lowest
value can be at the top instead.

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.
