r12a has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/i18n-discuss: == [notes/string-base-direction] Using RLI...PDI wrapper == [source] (http://w3c.github.io/i18n-discuss/notes/string-base-direction.html) Mati Allouche said: > 7) In "Paired formatting characters", we read "The Unicode bidi algorithm is unable to ascertain the base direction for a string that starts with RLI/LRI/FSI and ends with PDI," > > This is unclear to me. If the string starts with RLI/LRI/FSI and ends with PDI, there is nothing else beside it, so there is no base direction for the outer part and the direction for the inner part is defined by LRI/RLI/FSI. > > If the string consists of the isolated sequence and some more text after it, the UBA first-strong heuristics must be applied to the part of text after the PDI. This is coherent with the requirement that the consumer be aware of the protocol used by the producer. > > This may be what is meant in the next paragraphs of the same section, but the paragraph mentioned above comes first and is puzzling (for me at least).
