  1. Tell the truth: Did you know that #HTML contains a “dirname” attribute that passes on the directionality of text input? html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#submitting-element-directionality:-the-dirname-attribute

      I 🤓 HTML, but I wasn’t aware! (When I worked more on bidi projects, dirname wasn’t available. I’d have loved to see it in action then. But so did we miss out on a lot of other things that were added to HTML and CSS over the years.)
