Re: [i18n-discuss] Use of ZWJ

@khaledhosny: You said "I think it might indeed be related to bidi 
itemisation, since browsers will itemize the text first into runs with
 the same direction before doing the shaping, so the ZWJ might end in 
the wrong run."
Shouldn't a ZWJ ideally be included in both runs (not necessarily for 
reordering, but before being sent to rendering) if it falls on a run 
boundary? That's probably not what the Bidi algorithm says. But the 
Bidi algorithm is about ordering, and ZWJ has nothing to do with 
ordering. On the other hand, ZWJ is about shaping, and is defined (as 
far as I understand) to work logically.
