A quick fix v1

Greetings Aharon,

(In reply to comment #3)
> That is correct. The HTML5 spec before that change called for sending both input and forminput. After the change, it just calls for sending input. I am quoting from http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#text-state-and-search-state:
> 
> "If the element is mutable, the user agent should allow the user to change the writing direction of the element, setting it either to a left-to-right writing direction or a right-to-left writing direction. If the user does so, the user agent must then run the following steps:
> "Set the element's dir attribute to "ltr" if the user selected a left-to-right writing direction, and "rtl" if the user selected a right-to-left writing direction.
> "Queue a task to fire a simple event that bubbles named input at the input element."

Thank you for your clarification. I have written a change that sends an input event after changing the "dir" attribute. Unfortunately, the layout test in this change works only on Safari and Chrome because it requires a new JavaScript function. (Should I change 'Skipped' files?)

Regards,

Hironori Bono
