> A. 'unicode-bidi' should have no effect. Remove that from your sentence. I agree. In 10.8.1 you say "For Semitic languages, ". There are some non-Semitic languages that use rtl scripts, and some Semitic languages that use ltr scripts, so I'd suggest "For right-to-left scripts, such as Arabic and Hebrew, " instead. I think that if you make those changes, this will satisfy our comment. Thank you.
