Re: [bp-i18n-specdev] Possibly soften requirements related to logical order over visual order.

@stevenatkin are you referring to legacy encodings or pseudo-Unicode 
endodings? In Unicode data storage and transmission is is the order 
required by Unicode, often referred to as a logical order. This 
distinction of a logical order to character sequences is often used in
 discussions of Arabic and Hebrew processing. But it is also used with
 respect to scripts where visual reordering of glyphs occur during 
rendering, and is a key distinction between Unicode based solutions 
and pseudo-Unicode solutions that exist . Not sure how a Unicode based
 system would or even could be storing or transmitting data in a 
visual order ... this would break font rendering, collation, 
searching, etc.
