You made settings illogic only because you did not want to place the red warning down to the property writing-mode? That's all that is neccessary. And, what did you gain? You now have a lonely property nobody shall use because of that red warning! What a strategy! Merge back both properties, put the warning for HTML-writers to that one property and let people set both 'dir' and 'writing mode' because this is not a burden and will be the common tip in all blogs out there! You think very strange here at W3C - very strange! Regards, --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis Heuer einz@verschwendbare-verweise.seinswende.de
