BTW, this feature triggers a bug in Gmail. Let's say we have

<div dir=ltr>hello <span dir=rtl>RTL!</span> world</div>

When the user puts the caret inside the span, Gmail's LTR paragraph button becomes "non-pushed" and the RTL paragraph button becomes "pushed". This is already bad - the paragraph is *not* RTL. If one then clicks the LTR paragraph button, nothing happens - the "RTL!" is still displayed as "!RTL", while the LTR paragraph button stays non-pushed, and the RTL button stays pushed.
