Arabic XML question

I'm working on some training materials and I have a question about Arabic usage in XML elements and the order of tags in a bidi environment. Normally, in an LTR environment you would get this:

<name>content</name>

I'm assuming the order of start and end tags would remain the same in a bidi environment, with both Arabic language content and element names, because these are processor rules and they are expecting a particular syntax. But I couldn't find anything confirming or disputing this. Can anyone confirm or point me to something that would say that this should not be the way things are:

</eman>tnetnoc<eman> or <eman/>tnetnoc<eman>

and that it should be:

<eman>tnetnoc</eman>

Thanks,
Sandy
