There is no average BIDI user to observe, since there are no BIDI TLDs and

In my way of thinking, and average BIDI user does not normally mix LTR and
RTL, programmers excepted.

Unfortunately, on one hand, elements like "http" and TLDs are always LTR. 
On the other hand, users and businesses tend to prefer writing their names 
in their native/local script, so mixing LTR and RTL is currently not 
avoidable in countries using Bidi scripts.
