The best I've come up with so far is: | Since bidi reordering can split apart and reorder text that is | logically contiguous, bidirectional text can cause an inline box | to split. (And then there's a bunch of text copied from CSS2.1 about which boxes get which bits of padding and border.) Suggestions? ~fantasai
