[bp-i18n-specdev] Some "problems with control characters" are not exclusive to CC, but also apply to markup

lkemmel has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/bp-i18n-specdev:

== Some "problems with control characters" are not exclusive to CC, 
but also apply to markup ==
"5.2.4 Problems with control characters" says:

"2. It is sometimes necessary to choose which [CC] to use based on 
context or the type of the data, and this means that a content author 
typically needs to select the control codes – specifying control codes
 in this way for all paragraphs is time-consuming and error-prone."

- and

"Don't expect users to add control codes at the start and end of every
 paragraph. That's far too much work"

Same holds true for markup, at least in the following cases:
   - there is a need to denote an embedding direction (and hence it's 
necessary to choose which direction value to specify within markup for
 each inline segment),
  -  first-strong algorithm doesn't represent the content adequately 
(and hence it's necessary to choose explicit "prevailing" direction 
within the markup for each paragraph),
  - the prevailing base direction is not uniform and thus can't be 
denoted for units containing multiple paragraphs (but for each 
paragraph individually).
