Hi all,

Text-align: right
The "right" is supported by CSS mobile, so I think "right" is a basic CSS property.
In order to print contents from mobile phones or PDAs, the "right" should be 
supported by "CSS print enhanced". Off course I want to use "right" in contents 
for DTV print services.

List-style-type: lower-latin & upper-latin
Lower-alpha / upper-alpha are in place of lower-latin / upper-latin. 
lower-latin / upper-latin are not necessary.

Size: landscape
We can use "portrait". Why can’t we use "landscape"?  
Content providers of XHTML-print will be confused. 
We can use “@page {size: 20cm 10cm}.
"8.2.1 Rendering Page Boxes that do not fit target sheet" says 
that a printer can rotate or not.
So a low cost printer can manage "landscape".
