Chaps,

I was editing the ITS WG's Best Practices for XML Internationalization this afternoon and I needed to refer to an explanation of why you should use markup rather than unicode control characters.  The obvious article was http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-bidi-controls.en but (a) that was very focused on HTML, and (b) I have felt for some time that it needed some beefing up, particularly in the explanation dept.

So I set about creating a new version, currently visible at http://www.w3.org/International/questions/temp.php

I'd like to publish this new version asap.  Please tell me whether you have any issues with it before Wednesday's telecon.

Thanks,
RI
