[i18n-activity] inline-base direction

r12a has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity:

== inline-base direction ==
11.1.1. Definitions
https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/text.html#TermInlineBaseDirection

> inline-base direction
>     The primary direction in which content is ordered within a line 
or part of a line of text. It defines the "start" and "end" sides of a
 line or part of a line of text (relevant, for example to how the 
text-anchor property is applied). It is determined by the direction 
property. (**Note: the ordering of characters in a line of text is 
primary controlled by the Unicode bidi algorithm and not the 
inline-base direction.)** 

Not sure i understand the point in the last sentence (to which i added
 bolding).  Depending on what characters are involved, it seems to me 
that the inline base direction could be as important as the bidi 
algorithm in laying out bidirectional text.
