Just curious: is there a specific reason to rely on CSS for this, instead of
HTML? You can simply add a dir="rtl" attribute, or, if the content is not
already grouped by some element, mark it up as <bdo> ("BiDirectional
Override"), like this: <bdo lang ="ar" dir="rtl">right to left content</bdo>.
See <http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/dirlang.html#edef-BDO>.

You could still add *[dir=rtl] {direction:rtl} to the CSS, if you think there
might be user agents that don't have that as part of their built-in Style
Sheet. It shouldn't be necessary, but it probably won't hurt.
