[daisy] Daisy and right-to-left scripts

[Paul Focke]

Hi

I had a quick look at the page. It looks like you simply aligned the
text on paragraphs to the right. What I'd suggest is checking the
document language for arabic. Then when you detect an arabic document
you'd set a css property on the div with id "content". A bit like this
#content {
  direction : rtl;
}
The best place to do the check & rtl switch would be the layout.xsl but
I'm not 100% sure that you have knowledge of the document language what
the layout.xsl is processed.
