--- Comment #7 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> ---
dir=auto isn't a solution here for the same reason it's not a solution in
general: it can't reliably pick the right direction.

I don't understand why (short of browser bugs) the current proposed solution
(explicit bidi formatting characters in the text) wouldn't work.
