            Bug ID: 220624
           Summary: Propagate explicit directionality into the Inspector
                    DOM view
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Web Inspector

        Depends on: 64861

>From Bug 220241:

> There's probably a strong argument that if the page has <span dir=rtl>foo</span> then we want to end up with <span class="html-text-node" dir=rtl>foo</span> in the Inspector, rather than using auto there.

In short, if the page has an explicitly defined directionality we almost certainly want to reuse that.

Even more generally, we may just want to explicitly use the same directionality as the source element, using something like element.matches(":dir(ltr)") ? "ltr" : "rtl", though this would add a dependency on bug 64861. This is _probably_ the best fix, because it means we end up with the same directionality in every case. Adding a depends-on for that, given I think it is what we should do?

I'm not totally sure what we want to do about attribute values here. Maybe always give them dir=auto?
