I've seen it mean a practice that falls short of a 'recommendation' and has a lower level of consensus and review, but is nevertheless a thought out position that has sufficient consensus to be published. One advantage of using a WG Note rather than a recommendation is that the cost of change is fairly low. In terms of the Unicode vs markup issue you seem to be suggesting that the best practice (of using markup) will soon be superceded by the opposite of using best practice of using unicode bidi chars .... personally I would hope that when and if the consensus here comes round to that point of view, then this document could be updated relatively easily.
