+<para>Sets direction of text flow and text alignment based on locale.
+The value is normally taken from the gentext file for the 
+lang attribute of the document's root element, using the 
+key name 'writing-mode' to look it up in the gentext file.
+But the param can also be
+set on the command line to override that gentext value.
