Re: Bidi controls vs markup revamp

Note : Bidi is not my field of expertise.

I believe it is common practice to represent non-ASCII text using
upper-case letters when showing an example in in ASCII, particularly for
directionality examples.

In light of this, would it be a good idea to change '||mvanjbh tvlj*p'
in the examples to 'MVANJBH TVLJ*P' ?||

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.
