IIRC, some Hebrew users have spoken in favor of the PEP, despite the obvious difficulties it would create. I may misremember, but I think someone pointed out that they had these difficulties all the time, and that it wasn't really a burden. Unicode specifies that one should always use "logical order" in memory, and that's what the PEP does. Rendering is then a tool issue.
