My point is that I do not want something that is broken. Forward portability is nonsense when it breaks things. So Firefox and Mozilla NEED to be on the list of browsers that should not show it. The code should automagically decide on being right OR left depending on the language.
The snippet i posted only applies for LTR languages (the html[dir="ltr"] selector does this), hence avoiding any problems with RTL browser bugs.
As to do we want it. I do not want it as long as there is no audience for it. (No IE no Firefox/Mozilla for whom are you doing this ??)
Support in LTR languages is quite good- Opera, Safari, Gecko(Mozilla/Firefox) all support this. Of course IE doesn't know CSS2 and CSS3 selectors.
