Re: [alreq] Arabic decimal/thousand separator

For me, born and raised in a LTR world, the terms "before" and "after"
 are synonyme to "left" and "right" – until one learns XSL-FO where 
they have a clear direction-dependent meaning.

If it is not totally clear from the context, I would suggest to make 
it clear if "before" means "RTL before" (= appearing to the right of 
other glyphs) or "LTR before". 

For e.g. "٪٢٥" I would say, that in Arabic text the percent sign comes
 after the number.
