You have non printable charechters for giving rules of how the pharagraph
should be. But thats all.
Another issues are the ponctuation points, thay are reverse chars ->
located "inside" a charechter rather then a new letter.
There is no problem with right to left languages as long as there is no non
right to left language inside the pharagraph. Whenever there is one, the
problem begins. Thats where the BiDi algorithem take place...
One of the reason why I think the FriBiDI should be in use, is because it's
very stable and support 100% of the BiDi algorithem, while new implementation
will cause many problems and bugs that already been solved over the years
with FriBiDi.
