anyway, it would be nice to see where the three methods fail:
Of the three, method one seems to give correct results on all the given
tests (I’m yet to test with my own documents).
I’m skeptical that bidi can be implemented in a one pass algorithm,
there have been a one pass algorithm called “Pretty Good Bidi
Algorithm”, but it has its limitation (I never tested it myself).
Sure, although it can be close to okay with some backward and forward
scanning but I'm nbot really in the mood for that now. Anyhow, for the
occasional mix of arabic and latin this method works ok. For more
extreme cases method 'one' will do and method 'two' ... well it depends
on developments in unicode as this method will be the more configurable
one. (And I can probably make a faster implementation of method two when
performance matters.)
