We implement directionality using the CSS direction property, which only has
two possible values, RTL, and LTR.

So, when should you check "Default"?  If the writing direction is LTR and the
user's preferred language has LTR as the default writing direction?  But then
when do you check "Left-to-Right"?  When the writing direction is LTR and the
user's preferred language has RTL as the default writing direction?  So then
there are only two possible states, "Default" and
"Left-to-Right"/"Right-to-Left", depending on the user's preferred langauge. 
This is not how TextEdit behaves.  

Next, suppose that the direction is RTL and the user's preferred language has
LTR as the default writing direction and the user changes the writing direction
to "Left-to-Right".  Then "Default" is checked in the menu even though the user
just changed the writing direction to "Left-to-Right".  This is strange and not
how TextEdit behaves.  

We could deactivate the "Default" menu item.
