Is this the only problem?

See
http://L10N.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=198068&listName=dev&JServSessionIdservlets=innncnbsr2

I see there that bidi support is part of a greater thing called CTL
(Complext Text Layout , support for any language that is more complecated
than ascii ;-)), and according to that post it will take some time for the
whole CTL code to be merged into OpenOffice.

[ This is, of course, an issue of OpenOffice's developers, and not of
IBM's developers ]

Is this correct?
