> As to avoid lateralization where it is undue, LEFT and RIGHT may be > replaced with the original OPENING and CLOSING where it is unambiguous, or > with BACKWARD-POINTING and FORWARD-POINTING. > LEFT and RIGHT are accurate for characters that MUST NOT be mirrored in BiDi contexts according (this applies notably to punctuation and symbols that have a weak or contextual direction and do not force the direction of the text encoded after them). Those characters that MUST be mirrored according to the resolved BiDi direction, are the only ones for which OPENING/CLOSING or BACKWARD/FORWARD should be used instead of LEFT/RIGHT. Note also that some characters will rotate in vertical writing modes, and in that case they have a FORWARD/BACKWARD direction, even if those characters do not mirror in bidirectional horizontal modes. So a single naming avoiding LEFT/RIGHT is not desirable for all characters. This depends on how they behave when writing direction changes each time these characters don not have a strong direction.
