Re: [svgwg] inline-base direction

Ah, ok. So something like: 

A sequence of strongly-typed characters with the same direction will form a directional run, in which the characters are displayed visually in an order that corresponds to the directional type that they share. Thus an uninterrupted sequence of Hebrew letters will always be read from right to left.  This ordering is produced by the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm, and is independent of the setting of the inline-base direction. The inline-base direction, however, affects the order in which multiple different directional runs are displayed, and the positioning of weak or neutral characters that occur between directional runs with different directions.

(It glosses over the fact that two sequences of Hebrew letters with a space or punctuation between them becomes a single directional run.)
