I should clarify, the reason for the direction var's is that in some languages, the text can be written lefto-to-right or right-to-left depending on where the person comes from.  As such, these variables should be a user preference so that they can change them as appropriate.

The values for them should be:

  document_direction :      "LTR"  or "RTL"
  document_direction_default :   should be the same as  document_direction
  document_direction_inverse :   should be the alternate of document_direction_default
