Yes. The ODF standard doesn't properly specify tab stops for RTL text (see also
ODF 1.3 19.512.3). Programs that implement RTL ODF have had to come up with
their own ideas for how tab stops should work. We should encourage the ODF
committee to formalize what existing implementations already do. In our case,
we interpret tab distance and style as both relative to start, despite the ODF
standard specifically saying they should both be relative to absolute left.
