You mean, you want to force Hebrew and Arabic companies to register
their names backwards in the DNS, so that they appear in a readable
order when displayed LTR (which would require an overide of the normal
directionality for those Unicode characters)?

Isn't the whole point that they just use their normal company names, as
regular text, and they display the same as normal, like regular text?
