So far so good. I guess you know that you'll need to add the bidi_user_interface label for the related review comments link to work. |

| <p>When content is displayed in a right-to-left language context, user agent-provided UI controls should automatically mirror their layout. This includes reversing directional icons, repositioning control elements (such as the "on" position in toggle switches), and other spatial arrangements that have inherent directional meaning.</p> |

Directional icons are not normally reversed automatically. Are you sure you want to say that? It's not necessarily clear whether or not an icon needs to be reversed.

Indeed, sometimes we need to mirror and sometimes not. I adjusted the text. Thanks.

| <p>It is typical, when localizing a user interface or web page, to create mirror-images for the RTL and LTR versions. For example, it is likely that a box that appears near the left side of a window containing English content would appear near the right side of the window if the content is Arabic or Hebrew. It should preferably automatic for this to change, based on the base direction of the current context, unless there is a strong reason for using absolute geometry. One way to achieve this is to use keywords such as <code class="kw" translate="no">start</code> and <code class="kw" translate="no">end</code>, rather than <code class="kw" translate="no">left</code> and <code class="kw" translate="no">right</code>, to indicate position.</p> |

This seems to repeat the layout related aspects of the previous mustard.
It seems to actually be saying that logical property values should be available, rather than fixed direction ones. If that's the case, then you should probably say that.
