[bp-i18n-specdev] Should also mention ALM beside LRM and RLM

lkemmel has just created a new issue for

== Should also mention ALM beside LRM and RLM ==
In 5.2.5 ALM (U+061C ARABIC LETTER MARK) should be mentioned as well:

- In the caption: "RLM and LRM" ==> replace with "RLM, ALM, and LRM"

- "A word about the Unicode characters U+200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK (RLM)
 and U+200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK (LRM) is warranted at this point."
==> "A word about the Unicode characters U+200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK 
(RLM), U+061C ARABIC LETTER MARK (ALM), and U+200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK 
(LRM) is warranted at this point (unless is used to force base 
direction when is based on first-strong heuristics)."

- "The first point to be clear about is that neither RLM, nor LRM 
establish the base direction for a range of text.  They are simply 
invisible characters with strong directional properties."
==> "The first point to be clear about is that none of the RLM, ALM, 
or LRM establish the base direction for a range of text.  They are 
simply invisible characters with strong directional properties."

- "Of course, if you are detecting base direction using first-strong 
heuristics then RLM and LRM can be useful for setting the base 
direction where the text in question begins with something that would 
otherwise give the wrong result, eg. "

direction where the text in question begins with something that would 
otherwise give the wrong result, eg. "

That said, it should be mentioned that "ALM is still not widely 
supported."
