Hmm, so if I have a paragraph style with;
  style:writing-mode="lr"
as well as
 style:writing-mode-automatic="true"

then for a new paragraph the writing mode is ignored and the application 
gets to redefine it for a new paragraph based on content.

Ok, sounds a bit weird to my ears, but thats ok :)
Yes, I do think that is fully suited for my needs. Thanks for the pointer 
Elke!
