Description
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/selectors4/#the-dir-pseudo 

Allow selectors to consider UA directionality. 

.foo:dir(rtl) { -fx-fill: red; } 

 One or more of Application, Stage, or Scene would have the value.

The spec says "The :dir() pseudo-class does not select based on stylistic states���for example, the CSS ���direction��� property does not affect whether it matches." This means that in .foo:dir(rtl) { direction: ltr; }, any "foo" would have the direction ltr in a rtl world. This does not mean that a node with node orientation rtl matches this selector. Whether the selector applies or not does not depend on the node's effective node orientation. Rather, whether or not the selector applies depends on the effective orientation of the Scene.
