I'm sorry, but you are confusing several issues here. The question is
not whether to implement BiDi (yes, provided we find the working hands
to do it) or mirroring (yes, except I don't think we need to bother with
mirroring the window decoration UI components that Windows does, and I
have not heard anyone else weight in on this issue lately). The question
is whether Wine's built in application should set a specific flag to do
automatic mirroring.
Since Word is not a Wine built in application, what it does is
irrelevant for this discussion, not because we don't intend to support
it, but because it is undisputed we do.
