I've been having a lot of trouble finding references for stroke direction;
the best I've found is
http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Pagoda/3847/sapienti/bihua.htm, which is
for Chinese (are stroke directions the same? - I know that stroke order is
sometimes different), and seems to be missing some strokes.


Couldn't you find anything? There is a very good page on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke_order

This article is a candidate for "featured article" status, so I'd encourage anyone with contributions or additions to get them in now.
