When you combine ResourceLoader's ability to flip css on the fly with changes made in r72366, what you are asking for should work with just a bit more tweaking. r72367 and 72368 make strides towards solving the issue of going to Arabic Wikipedia and using English as your language, ensuring we don't just flip on RTL, we flip when the user language is not the same direction as the content language, and only do this for CSS hosted on the wiki. Unfortunately because site CSS is still not passed through ResourceLoader this is not a complete solution.
