However, currently (at least in Chrome 15.0.874.106 and 17.0.919.0), it is also on by default for <textarea dir=ltr> and <textarea dir=rtl>. This breaks backwards compatibility. test case: data:text/html,<textarea dir=rtl>the period should be on the left.</textarea> According to the HTML spec (http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#bidirectional-text), the correct default stylesheet as relating to unicode-bidi is supposed to be: [dir] { unicode-bidi: embed; } bdi, bdi[dir], output, output[dir], [dir=auto i] { unicode-bidi: isolate; } bdo, bdo[dir] { unicode-bidi: bidi-override; } bdo[dir=auto i] { unicode-bidi: bidi-override isolate; } textarea[dir=auto i], pre[dir=auto i] { unicode-bidi: plaintext; } Also see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70373 for another bug due to an incorrect default being set for unicode-bidi.
