in Western languages, yes, yes
I always hated that in RTL pages all the tables get reversed, but the floats don't. It's a bad design decision IMO. I ended up creating two sets of CSS for my pages, where I reversed right/left each time I used it (float, border, margin, etc.)
I want to propose start and end (or something else? suggestions?) as RTL aware version of left/right, so margin-start: 10px; for example.
