Support for rtl tables was recently checked in, and seems to work mostly: the
following table is messed up, though (problems with row- / colspans?)

<table dir="rtl" border="1">
<caption><em>A test table with merged cells</em></caption>
<tr><th rowspan="2"></th>
    <th colspan="2">Average</th>
    <th rowspan="2">Red<br>eyes</th></tr>
<tr><th>height</th>
    <th>weight</th></tr>
<tr><th>Males</th>
    <td>1.9</td>
	<td>0.003</td>
	<td>40%</td></tr>
<tr><th>Females
    <td>1.7</td>
	<td>0.002</td>
	<td>43%</td></tr>
</table>

[Taken from HTML 4.0 spec, with dir="rtl" added]

Should be fixed with 5/3 checkin.

Using 99050408 Apprunner on Win 95, 'rtl' is still buggy. In the test case
given, it looks like rowspan invades the second column (from right) and forces
'height' and 'weight' over to left so that 'weight' mixes with 'eyes'. Rowspan
works correctly without the 'rtl' direction.

Reopening bug.

Try it again tomorrow. The checkin time of the fix came after the version used
to verify.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Using 5/7 Apprunner, verified fixed.
Mass-assigning the new rtl keyword to RTL-related (see bug 349193).
