I've modified my very preliminary impl to support the use of xhtml:dir
and have checked in some code [1]. The impl is very rough and designed
only to illustrate the basic behavior I have in mind.
Right now, the code determines the direction of text using the following
steps (in order):
1. Look for an unprefixed "dir" attribute
2. Look for the xhtml:dir attribute
3. Look for any attribute with local-name="dir" and whose
value looks appropriate (e.g. f:dir="ltr" xmlns:f="urn:foo" )
4. If not found, iterate up through parent elements
