went overs the specs (as i probably should have before). 
i didn't see any reference to the dir attribute in the frames section. 
what confuses me is that <html dir="rtl"> is legal so why won't it be 
effective in the context of a frameset? 
but anyhow testing has shown me this does not work as i would hope. 
i will probably change the frames layout programmatically and later on 
move to no frames.

i never said direction=rtl. i said dir=rtl (html) and direction:rtl 
(css). no hard feelings ;-)
