I hope that we can get more involvement from Arabic experts to obtain some consensus on the situation (I proposed the idea of an Arabic Layout Requirements document on a trip to Oman this month). I suspect that it will however take some time to reach that consensus, and I also suspect that our discussion will unfortunately need to wait until then for resolution. RI
