These are consolidated comments from IBM Bidi Globalization Center of
Competency on the document stored at:

Section The Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm
> It is important to understand, first, that the order of characters in
memory (logical) is not the same as the order in which they are displayed
(visual).
This is true for logical ordering schema (which is de-facto standard on
such systems as Windows, Linux). However, this is not true for visual
ordering schema (which is de-facto standard on such systems as main frame,
iSeries). I would suggest to add a footnote saying that:
1. This is true for logical ordering schema which is a standard one for
such systems as Windows / Linux
2. Except for
http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/new-bidi-xhtml/qa-visual-vs-logical
article the rest of content assumes logical ordering schema of data.
