Re: [luatex] a bidi package for LaTeX in LuaTeX

I would rather say that the side on which the footnote appears does not depend of the fact whether it is first or second, but on the dominant language of the document. If the dominant language is Persian, all footnotes start on the right, if it is French they start on the left.

One could also consider changing the dominant language but this should be done on the level of a whole page.

More importantly notice the footnotes:

- if the first footnote in a page is Persian, then the footnote rule should appear in the right hand side.

- if the first footnote in a page is an English one, then the footnote rule should appear in the left hand side.

That is the perfect rule for footnote in RTL, which bidi does not care.
