There is a huge amount of systems which are using visual data. We are talking about mainframe based systems (mostly in banking and insurance industries) in geographies in which bidirectional scripts are used (mostly Northern Africa, Middle East and Israel). Visual data is associated with order of characters / text segments in text buffer (**not** to encoding). Technically speaking visual data can appear in any encoding. As apps and development tools working with visual data (mainframe world) are moving to cloud means to properly work with this data are being developed. It is obviously possible to "fake" visual data in many ways (i.e. using bdo as was pointed out above). However putting strict restrictions on working with logical data, completely leaves out mainframe world from modern realities ( technology / architectures). -- GitHub Notification of comment by tomerm Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/bp-i18n-specdev/issues/9#issuecomment-226718335 using your GitHub account
