Cameron's make script warns about these both, because they are not
animatable:
[[
Dubious: non-animatable property 'direction' found.
Dubious: non-animatable property 'unicode-bidi' found.
]]

This seems to be an assumption in the make script that thinks that all
properties should be animatable.  I don't know if this is a spurious
assumption, or if perhaps we should examine whether that's true.

Your text and schema certainly matches the values from SVG 1.1, where it
was also not animatable, but I couldn't think why that should be.  What
is the rationale for them not being animatable?

It's not a big deal either way, but I was curious because of the warning
flag.
