Description Ryosuke Niwa 2013-12-16 18:47:57 PST

Merge https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/2d592d1c998bec9438e421e1ce1ee6caba05a884

The dir attribute by default resolves to ltr. After its set to rtl, clearing it should cause it to once again resolve to its default,
ltr. This patch makes this change from the current behavior where the rtl persists the clear.
