I just noticed you are setting xml:lang and lang on the <html>-tag. So 
there isn't even any change needed. (Btw. that why I hate php, mixing 
markup and code is extremely obscure)

The main problem seems to be the frequency of text-align-declarations in 
the existing style-sheets.

This is what I have atm:

<------------ snip ------------->

diff --git a/web/html/css/containers.css b/web/html/css/containers.css

<--------------- snap ------------------>

It would be nice to get some comments from right-to-left reading people.
Why does direction:rtl; put punctuation at the beginning of the line? Is 
that wanted behavior or just a browser bug?
