The spec said to use the parent element's writing-mode/direction/ text-orientation to map margin-block-start to a physical margin property. WebKit/Chromium/Gecko/Edge however use the own element's writing-mode/direction/text-orientation rather than the parent's. Since browsers use logical properties in their UA stylesheet and the <dd> element uses margin-inline-start, so Web content that uses <dd dir=rtl> where the parent is ltr would change behavior if browsers were to change to use the parent element.
