Thanks for the feedback. In general, I've found that while the controls do,
indeed, seem to align the text correctly for input in bidi locales, there is
little support in things like IB for putting the label on a box at the top
right instead of the top-left, and also in code for determining what
It looks like I'll just have to use other controls to do the same effect in
IB, and just check of locale.name == ar || he in code to do the reverse

On 10.6 your heuristic should instead mirror the value of the new
