Currently, the HTML dir attribute is applicable to nearly every element type. There is a bdo element type, for bi-directional override, which has the semantics of disabling the Unicode directionality algorithm and forcing the specified direction. Discussion in the W3C I18n WG right now is to add a bdo attribute to every inline element type. However, since CSS makes every element potentially inline, bdo may be added to every element type, but defined as meaningless if the display is anything other than inline. ~Chris - -- Christopher R.
