The intention was to allow such reordering, and the quoted paragraph has been modified to say (this is section 10.7 Text Rendering Order[1]): "The glyphs associated with the characters within text content block elements are rendered in the logical order of the characters in the original document, independent of any re-ordering necessary to implement bidirectionality. Thus, for text that goes right-to-left visually, the glyphs associated with the rightmost character are rendered before the glyphs associated with the other characters." Please let us know shortly if this satisfies your comment.
