According to the HTML 4.01 spec, dir is part of the %i18n attribute set, which
is used by virtually every HTML tag. It is not just needed for HTML, but in fact
all tags in the struts-html tld. See google.com in a bidi language for an
example of how this attribute is used to properly control the direction of a page.
