Comment (by majelbstoat):

 This is a nice idea, but is it a core feature?  Just so you know, Gengo
 already provides some RTL language support, which allows you to specify
 languages as RTL and then sets the direction on the posts themselves, but
 it's an area I'd like to improve on.  Other plugins may also provide a way
 of doing this...  A way of altering the direction for the sidebar, headers
 and admin would be good though.

 Just a couple of questions:

 Does get_locale() in locale.php::init() happen before or after the
 plugins_loaded() hook? I'm a bit fuzzy on the order of execution in 2.1.

 {{{
 Eventually, fa.php could include other locale-specific settings such as
 the strings to use when constructing permalinks.
 }}}

 What kind of strings are you talking about here?  Category base?
 'Archives' etc?  This seems to be moving away from the gettext() method
 here, unless I misunderstand.  I'm of the opinion that all the translated
 strings should be in one place in the .mo file.
