Should 'auto' be part of the value space or only the lexical space? #4

(Carried forward from #1 as a separate issue)

To avoid unexpected inequalities, the value of auto (which role is mainly to allow simpler lexical representations) may be considered as only in the lexical space and its mapping to value space means to choice between rtl and ltr as defined in the html spec.

(Originally proposed by @pchampin in https://github.com/w3c/rdf-dir-literal/issues/1#issuecomment-493813228)

This is valid both in the case of an extension of langString and for localizableString.
