CE, If the possibility of 30 nested bidi embeddings due to the mechanism under discussion is indeed remote, then you do have to ask yourself why would anyone bother to implement a defensive strategy against this particular remote outcome. On the other hand, the idea of eliminating redundant embeddings on conversion to/from HTML still makes a lot of sense. Since they are invisible to the user without special authoring tool support, removing them is notionally similar to merging style runs on pasting. Precisely because of the ceiling on embedding, redundant embeddings are not as harmless as other redundant features, so you could argue that their cleanup is essential for this ceiling to work. A./
