> It’s strange that inheriting this bit from the parent happens in attach() and not when actually being added to the parent in the DOM tree. It is also not cleared when attaching under a parent that doesn’t have the flag set, so it seems as if you can move a subtree from under a dir="auto" parent to a dir="ltr" parent and the subtree will maintain the flag.

I am not sure I understand the difference between "Node::attach" and adding to the parent in the DOM tree? I was wondering if I should do something in detach(), and I guess I should. However, is detach() not the same as removing a node from the DOM ?

You are right, there are multiple scanning during construction. I'll see if I can mark only the part of the tree up to the first relevant text node.

No, I wanted to change the css direction on the existing attribute. sorry about that.
