This page is a bit outdated, things can be done in simpler ways now. I've typeset a small Arabic book in ConTeXt last year (and should be working on a small one now) but I use my own BiDi implementation so my setup is a bit different than the "standard" way. If I got that book done in ConTeXt I'll try to write some updated examples and publish the TeX files of the book for anyone interested.
