We should not mention them. srcDir and trgDir (which live in <file>, <group> or <unit>) do not affect the segmentation changes. They

splitting or joining segments/ignorables parts.

I agree that you do not do anything to them when re-segmenting, the note would be just a caveat to look for the defaults in these structural attributes, when it appears that dir is not set..

I think it is wrorth a note because the value is inherited from a different attribute, not the same as in case of translate or canResegment..

I propose this wording:

Please note that dir is inherited from trgDir or srcDir if not set explicitly, see dir [link] for its default values.
