           Summary: Ignore don't convert dir attribute into direction

If a user presses delete key and merges two paragraphs between <div dir="ltr">X</div><div dir="rtl">Y</div> where X and Y can independently be LTR or RTL text, should we generate <div dir="ltr">XY</div> or <div dir="ltr">X<span dir="rtl">Y</div>?

WebKit currently adds direction property when copying a content inside an element with dir property. But this wouldn't work if the copied content was wrapped by span (need to add unicode-bidi: embed as well). I don't even know what the correct behavior is.

Test case (from the bug 45784): https://bug-45784-attachments.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=110125
