Why does dir=“rtl” change order, but only sometimes?
Why does
<input type="text" dir="rtl" value="08/15 word">
render into word 08/15 and not into 08/15 word?
Why does
<input type="text" dir="rtl" value="one word">
render into one word?
Why is the order switched in the first case but not in the second one?

Ok, but 08/15 was not considered a date! It's some kind of product number... And wyh does "99/99 word" still switches direction? It is definitely not a date.

same thing I guess .. you should read the text then the number. I don't have the accurate explanation but you have two entites (text and number) where in the other you only have text (nothing to switch) ... try for example to add a full stop.it will also get affected because it's considered as ponctuation that should be at the end, so after the text in both direction

dir=RTL Characteristics
The order of digits in numbers (such as phone numbers) doesn’t
differ from left-to-right writing.When combining symbols that can be used in both RTL and LTR
languages (such as periods, commas, or other punctuation marks),
their displayed positions will depend on the direction of the text.
This is because the data format starts from the beginning, but a
browser is still processing an RTL word in the RTL direction and
punctuation is converted towards the direction that has been
specified.
