However, it could be that the confusion is mine, and it stems from the
fact that the logical order of these characters was not stated by the
OP. Is it
1999/12/31
or
31/12/1999
?
The logical order in the document that was cited is 1999/12/31
(١٩٩٩/١٢/٣١). I just did a pen-and-paper run of the bi-di algorithm, and
it does look to me as if the 1999/12/31 rendering is the correct one, even
with the paragraph set to right-to-left in HTML.
