For what it's worth, Gecko has had "div { unicode-bidi: embed; }" in the
UA stylesheet for about a year now in nightlies and for close to half a
year in a shipping release (Firefox 3.6). I don't believe we've had a
single issue reported in that time.

Realistically, if you're the sort of author who nests divs with
display:inline set on them 60 deep, I have no problem with telling you
to set unicode-bidi on them too.... You're clearly not a fan of the
default UA stylesheet in any case. ;)
