As a result of discussions in the Unicode technical committee about tweaks to the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm (see issue 13 at http://www.unicode.org/review/ and the actual draft at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/tr9-12.html), Michel Suignard has suggested making clear in the IRI spec that the provision for higher-level protocols to be able to change the bidi algorithm should not be misused to change the display behavior of IRIs. I have added the following text to the first paragraph in the section "Logical Storage and Visual Presentation": >>>>>>>> The Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm (<xref target="UNI9"/>, Section 4.3) permits higher-level protocols to influence bidirectional rendering. Such changes by higher-level protocols MUST NOT be used if they change the rendering of IRIs. >>>>>>>> Please check this in the draft version linked from http://www.w3.org/International/iri-edit/. Michel, others, any comments? Regards, Martin.
