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

Thanks @ntounsi.  I made changes for most of the points you raised.

I didn't mention the isolated forms, because i think that requires even more difficult setup these days, given fallback font capabilities, widespread Arabic system fonts, etc.  I know you do that, but do you whether many others do?  I did, however, rewrite the relevant paragraph to read:

> It is not a particularly good idea for authors to edit in LTR mode after applying a directional override to the whole of the source code. For this, an editor that knows nothing about the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm would be necessary, because it avoids the reordering of the text. This makes it easier to understand the mixture of markup and content, but the author has to read all the RTL content backwards. In a cursive script such as Arabic this is particularly problematic, because the normal joining shapes are altered as well as the direction.
