#121: BIDI: Some users are requiring right-to-left label ordering.


Comment (by adil@…):

 I think I should clarify what I meant:

 Right now if you have a 'simple' URL that is all in Arabic it will be
 rendered right-to-left even given the restrictions of this document. So,
 using the normal bidi notation (capitals for rtl characters):
 Logical order:
   `http://ABC.DEF.GHI/JKL`
 Appears as:
   `http://LKJ/IHG.FED.CBA`
 Or without the http.. :
   `LKJ/IHG.FED.CBA`

 This is why I believe the current situation satisfies the 'side of a bus
 URL' criteria for a small subset of right-to-left URLs.

 The point is to strictly define what that subset is and create tools and
 documents to verify it so that web sites and browsers can display them.
 Also within this subset of URLs it is possible to have browsers draw these
 in the URL bar right-to-left and right aligned. But I do not know if this
 document is the place for such a definition.
