I just went trough the article you edited titled "Authoring Techniques for XHTML & HTML Internationalization: Handling Bidirectional Text" http://www.w3.org/TR/i18n-html-tech-bidi/ I was surprised to see ie5/mac listed in the list of browsers- It has no support for RTL text (it ignores dir=rtl), and it doesn't even display Hebrew characters at all (regardless of encoding). Also, Opera added support to bidi text only in version 7.20, and not 7.0 Speaking of encodings- IMHO it should be mentioned that if you want to include Hebrew diacritics in the text, the encoding needs to be windows-1255 or utf-8, as iso-8859-8-i does not include diacritical marks.
