Re: [i18n-drafts] [questions/qa-bidi-source] Editorial issue (#466)

Few more comments

[ § Editing markup section](https://w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/questions/qa-bidi-source.en.html#reasons)

1) After first markup example: "Furthermore, sentence-final punctuation, such as the period here". period or exclamation mark here?

2) Paragraph before next example :  "..._things can get much worse if the overall context for the source code is right-to-left._" Indeed! But I would add as a remark (after the example) that this not very usual since markup languages are generally  in English, so the context in editing a source code is unlikely to be right-to-left.

3) The paragraph before this figure-1: The first sentence "_It is not unknown for authors to edit in LTR mode after applying a directional override to the whole of the source code_." Is not clear to me. Do you mean apply <bdo> markup to the whole code and edit in Wysiwyg mode, or edit in HTML source mode with Bidi disabled ?
Last sentence: "_because the normal joining forms are altered as well as the direction_." Normal joining forms **take place** but backward, altering the readability.

4) Just bellow that, in [figure 1](https://w3c.github.io/i18n-drafts/questions/qa-bidi-source.en.html#fig_joining_forms), I would add a third line example where normal joining forms are not rendered (obtained here by LRO and  ZWNJs where fit):

‭ي‌ح‌ق  ل‌ك‌ل  فرد  أ‌ن  ي‌غادر‬ 

5) Figure caption: should be RTL top and LTR bottom ?
