If paragraph embedding level is determined by an overriding profile but there is nothing explicit, should not the locale determine the directionality? If so, the locale will often work for indicating whether a character should be displayed in its left-to-right form or its right-to-left form. Are you, for example, suggesting that a code chart in Arabic should display U+0028 LEFT PARENTHESIS and U+0029 RIGHT PARENTHESIS using the same glyphs as for one in the English language? Richard.
