Yes, xml2po should set the lang attribute appropriately on top-level
<article> or <book> elements, and it's up to the renderer to interpret
this to get text direction appropriately.   When "lang" attribute
cannot be deduced from PO file name, you can pass "-l" option in
recent releases of gnome-doc-utils.

Though, to be honest, I didn't get much feedback from RTL users, so
maybe I may need to add something else as well.

Any feedback is, of course, very much appreciated and welcome.  I have
also CCed gnome-doc-devel-list, which is appropriate for this
discussion (and Shaun may be able to help us more with how Yelp
behaves in such circumstances).

Cheers,
Danilo
