+ <p>A string provided by a script (e.g. the argument to <code title="dom-alert"><a href="timers.html#dom-alert">window.alert()</a></code>) is expected to be treated
+ as an independent set of one or more bidirectional algorithm
+ paragraphs when displayed, as defined by the bidirectional
+ algorithm, including, for instance, supporting the
+ paragraph-breaking behaviour of U+000A LINE FEED (LF) characters. <a href="references.html#refsBIDI">[BIDI]</a></p>

+ <p>For example, consider the following script:</p>
+
+ <pre>var s;
+if (s = prompt('What is your name?')) {
+ alert(s + '! Ok, Fred, ' + s + ', and Wilma will get the car.');
+}</pre>
+
+ <p>When the user enters "<kbd>Kitty</kbd>", the user agent would
+ alert "<samp>Kitty! Ok, Fred, Kitty, and Wilma will get the
+ car.</samp>". However, if the user enters "<kbd dir="rtl" lang="ar">لا أفهم</kbd>",
+ then the bidirectional algorithm will determine that the direction
+ of the paragraph is right-to-left, and so the output will be
+ "<samp lang=""><bdo dir="rtl">لا أفهم! derF ,kO, لا أفهم, rac eht teg lliw amliW dna.</bdo></samp>"!</p>

+ Unicode U+200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK and U+200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK
