One last question ... what about calibre? Does it support rtl text in epub2 and if so is it done via CSS? My guess is yes, and that explains why Sigil's rtl format menu item supports CSS text direction since it is a leftover from when Sigil was epub2 only.

So just for backwards compatibility, I should use CSS for text direction in epub2 and dir attributes in epub3.
