Comment on: text in the content is provided in Unicode or sufficient information is provided so that it can be automatically mapped back to Unicode. [X] (This was noticed by Reuven Nisser and is a good point) With BI- directional languages (like Hebrew and Arabic) The Unicode mapping of each letter is not enough. You also need to know the direction or flow of the letters to be able to decode unambiguously For example A page written using a visual architecture. -The logical flow of the letters is backwards. Or, in another example, Imagine Right to left text with a phone number in the middle. Numbers work left to right, but a phone number can be have a hyphen in the middle which, as it is NOT a number, will be read as right to left - inverting the different half of the number with the second half of the number......
