Siddhartha Ghai is quite right, and to generalize it, i'd say that what is
really needed is fine-grained control on the HTML language attribute (lang) on
every content element of the page. This affects line-height of Indic languages
[1], this affects directionality, and this may also affect glyph shaping,
quoting, hyphenation and other things for some languages.

Currently, the heading is more or less a blob, which can hardly be controlled.
It definitely should be done, and it will probably be easy in the Visual Editor
age, but thinking about this should start as early as possible.

[1] Actually it shouldn't affect line-height, but imperfections in
implementations of font rendering force us to use CSS tricks to fix it.
