5. Work out whether every inline can affect bidirectionality (CSS style) or whether there's one special-purpose element (HTML and XSL style, although I don't expect XHTML to stick to that and it doesn't matter for HTML anyway if you're also using CSS).

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.
