For instance, "http://MY.OWN.DOMAIN.com<http://my.own.domain.com/>" > (where upper case letters represent RTL letters) will be displayed as " > http://YM.NWO.NIAMOD.com <http://ym.nwo.niamod.com/>", It won't if we adopt the component based approach in the UBA extension. Since the string is identified as URL and the separators are "." (dot) the components which should respect LTR overall directionality as per the specs would be MY, OWN, DOMAIN and com. Characters inside the components would stay RTL so the the string will stay as it is http://MY.OWN.DOMAIN.com -- Slim Amamou | سليم عمامو http://alixsys.com
