I like this proposal. Except that 1. it's a lot of typing. 2. To work best
with older browsers, you need to manually hide it anyway, so, no gain there.
Here's yet another proposal:
<input name=foo type=text xxx=xxx>
where xxx is whatever attribute name we comeup with. What this does though, is
that it will instruct the agent to included exactly one of U+200E or U+200F at
the beginning of the submitted text, depending on the resolved direction of the
text.
