'unicode-bidi' should have no effect. Remove that from your sentence. I was rather suspect about that myself, but it was late when I wrote that passage. > B.

I've changed the definitions of 'text-anchor' [1] and 'text-align' [2] as you suggest (indeed, the bit in 'text-anchor' about start=left in Arabic was flat-out wrong). Please let us know posthaste if these changes satisfy your comment.
