Note that Aharon had stated that

TO BE
OR NOT TO BE?

actually represent actual RTL characters. So if you are going to do an
actual test on a browser you need to replace this with actual RTL
characters, such as

<div dir=ltr>
<span dir=rtl>
להיות<br>
 או לא להיות?
</span>
<div>-- hamlet, in rtl translation.</div>
</div>

Otherwise the tests will not give any meaningful results.
