#121: BIDI: Some users are requiring right-to-left label ordering.


Comment (by duerst@…):

 (from Larry)

 My read on the situation:

 It would be helpful if we could get some agreed text describing the nature
 of the problem --
  it sounds to me that there might be agreement on the problem (more or
 less) ,
 just not on whether there are feasible (partial) solutions.

 If we have agreement on the problem statement, then we can:

 * document partial solutions (with caveats)
 * say we don't believe there are any feasible solutions at this time

 It would be useful also to get a survey of of what current implementations
 actually are doing now, along with some concrete examples of the nature of
 the problems.

 There's no magic, just "rough consensus and running code":

 * if all of the implementations agree, then we can document that.
 * If  there are multiple implementations currently, we can try to pick
 one.
 * if we don't like any of the implementations, we can say so.
 * If there are no implementations or even demos or samples of
 implementations, we shouldn't hold our breath hoping one will appear.
