[webkit-dev] Adding ENABLE_CSS_DIRECTIONAL_FOCUS to WebCore.

[Kyounga Ra]

Hi,

First, I filed up my new patch based on the latest webkit without new
feature-name even though this discussion wasn't concluded.

If you think this feature should be behind ENABLE_CSS_DIRECTIONAL_FOCUS,
I'll make a new patch.

If this feature is widely used in TV industry and is included in next CSS4,
it is not bad implementing this feature in Webkit. Isn't it?

And then, should I mark the 66027 bug as "Reopended" to review it?
