"or alternatively can be indicated as properties on elements" #75

Language and writing direction should be indicated using the HTML standard attributes lang= and dir=, or alternatively can be indicated as properties on elements.

Not clear what that last clause means. Title properties dir and lang?

I would delete it, one standard mechanism for dir/lang is better.

👍 This looks also more conform with what is written somewhere else:

"all writing direction changes must be indicated with tags." http://kba.github.io/hocr-spec/1.2/#hyphenation
"ocrp_dir: Capable of generating dir= attributes" http://kba.github.io/hocr-spec/1.2/#capabilities
