Amine,
I proposed a solution on the dev mailing list that provides a simple way to
cascade a RTL style sheet that reverses the direction of the main style sheet.
Perhaps you could check that mailing list and comment on my approach.
Our CSS/HTML Best Practices advise against the type of CSS naming you proposed.
I'm moving this to the dev mailing list - which is a more appropriate place for
this type of discussion.
