Do you really mean right-aligned, or RTL-oriented, since
there is a BIG difference?
In the former case, you are correct that tabs in a right
aligned paragraph aren't entirely meaningful (pushing right vs.
left), BUT in an RTL-oriented paragraph they are quite valid! In an
RTL paragraph, the tabs should be taken to be "reversed", such that a
right aligned tab means align the start of the text to the tab rather
than the end - and vice-versa for left.
Make sense?
