Glen,

Since I speak Arabic, I would say yes to your questions. When I used to have
sight and used to read books, my eye would be always aiming at that right
margin.

This same concept applies to RTL on computer screens. When the user looks at
the screen, he or she would be looking at the right side of the page
regardless of whether the rest of the browser buttons or menus are in
English, French or other LTR languages.

Anyone know if RTL users/languages prefer the radiobuttons and checkboxes to
the right of the label? Would magnifier users stick to the right margin?
