1. Please note that the paragraph direction sets alignment not only for "text-align:start" and "text-align:end", but also for "text-align:start end", as well as for "text-align-last:start" and "text-align-last:end".

2. I think that while the direction of a non-empty all-neutral paragraph should remain LTR as it is currently implemented, I think that there is room for "fudging" a little and making the direction of a completely empty (not just all-neutral) paragraph match the direction of the preceding paragraph, and if there is none, then the element's computed direction. The purpose of this would be just to set the alignment such that when typing a sequence of RTL paragraphs in a unicode-bidi:plaintext textarea, one will not initially start off with the caret on the left for each new paragraph. Other than alignment in a textarea, the direction of an empty paragraph is (I think) a moot point.
