I received the following mail from Mati Allouche (thanks, Mati!): > Hello, Martin! > >1) I have reviewed your document http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-duerst-iri-bis-01.txt and more particularly section 4 about Bidirectional IRIs, and I have a problem with example 9. IMHO, the visual representation (Hebrew) should be: >http://ab.cd.ef/LK/JI%32/%31HG.html >and the visual representation (Arabic) should be: >http://ab.cd.ef/LK/JI32%/31%HG.html >I suggest to check the proper result using one of the Bidi reference implementations that you can find on the Unicode site (or in the "Tools => Bidi Demo" menu item in the Unibook application). I have listed this as issue: http://www.w3.org/International/iri-edit#bidi-fix-example-113 I will check this through. Looking at http://www.w3.org/International/iri-edit/BidiExamples, in general the green (displayed by the browser) and blue (calculated by an implementation of mine) lines should match, but for example 9, they indeed don't match. >2) It might be appropriate to add example 11 as follows: > > Example 11 (allowed but very confusing): > Logical representation: "http://ab.CDEFGH.123ij/kl/mn/op.html" > Visual representation: "http://ab.123.HGFEDCij/kl/mn/op.html" > Components consisting of numbers and left-to-right characters are > allowed, but these may interact with adjacent RTL components in ways > that are not easy to predict. I've listed this as: http://www.w3.org/International/iri-edit#bidi-add-example-114 This is indeed a good point; for backwards compatibility reasons, it is difficult to disallow such cases, but they'd indeed better not exist.
