Description
This issue is common to all RTL scripts.
Adoption of logical keywords such as -start and -end, rather than -left and -right needs to be completed.
For margins, padding, block size, border colour, width & style, logical keywords such as margin-inline-start or margin-block-end are widely supported by major browsers in their simplest forms (such as those just mentioned). However, logical properties are not well supported in shorthands such as margin-block or margin-inline or the margin property. The lack of support for shorthands is significant, since they are expected to have high use.

Research direction
No repository files, tests, or implementation entry points are named. Start by reviewing the linked w3c/alreq#217 issue and the project’s CSS usage to determine the required scope. Done would mean completing the relevant logical keyword adoption, including shorthand properties, but the issue does not define a repository-specific acceptance check.
