Forgive my failing memory here, but I thought there had been discussion at one of our face-to-face meetings about contexts in which there were different expectations about script direction within a single context. One discussion point that I seem to recall touched on a context in which the local language was right-to-left but numbers appearing within the text using Hindu-Arabic numerals (0-9) were left-to-right. If that memory is correct, or there are other contexts in which a right-to-left and left-to-right context can mix, it seems to me that we cannot use the simplifying assumption that we can use a marker (either embedded in the IRI or at the presentation layer) to reverse the whole string. Am I misremembering this or misinterpreting the consequences? regards, Ted Hardie
