There is a backwards compatibility problem as well as current
implementation problems.

I agree with Fantasai's proposal. I note that IE9 shows the behavior
that she is proposing (bottom left in the screenshot). Safari shows some
bazaar behavior (top left in the screenshot).
Relevant HTML:
<p>left to right left to right <span>left to right left to right left to
right</span> left to right left to right.</p>
<p>left to right left to right <span dir="rtl">משמאל לימין משמאל לימין
משמאל לימין</span> left to right left to right.</p>
</div>
Relevant CSS:
p {
font-size: 200%;
line-height:1.5;
}
p span {
margin:0 5em;
border: 2px solid red;
border-left: 0.25em solid blue;
border-right: 0.25em solid green;
}
