James,

Thanks for the reply. I was not trying to say "this sucks because nobody
needs it." I was saying that there are literally no examples available
that show how it is beneficial. Even the examples do not demonstrate the
usefulness of the mechanism; they use dir="rtl", but they would be
rendered the same even if the mechanism wasn't being used, because the
example BIDI text is 100% strongly RTL, right?

Regards,
Brian
