Steps to reproduce:

See the following codepen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/ZYYRrj


Actual results:

The text should be styled green.


Expected results:

The selector is considered invalid. It should be matching nothing instead (http://dev.w3.org/csswg/selectors4/#the-dir-pseudo).

Since it is considered invalid, the universal selector is ignored.

Kudos to Sukolsak Sakshuwong for catching the bug.
Yeah, I don't see any rationale for why it was done the way our code does it.

Make the :-moz-dir() and :-moz-locale-dir() selectors be valid selectors (matching nothing) with arguments other than rtl and ltr, rather than invalid

I assume it's OK that we serialize values other than "ltr" and "rtl" after converting them to lowercase?

I think so, given that CSS values are all case-insensitive, and the values likely to be added are things like tb-rl and tb-lr, or maybe ttb.
