I looked a bit at the comments. I haven't had a chance to think through it in detail, but it appears to be that the bug filers want to treat <br> as if it really does start another paragraph, but one without paragraph spacing. Thus when I change https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=137938 to the following, it seems to work just fine. <body dir="rtl"> <p>1. המילה האנגלית English.</p> <p>2. עברית.</p> </body> So it seems like what the people really want would be to use a <p style="margin:0"> instead of a <br>. I'm cc'ing the bidi Unicode group and the W3C i18n group in case people there have other comments/suggestions.

Thank you, Eyal Rozenberg
