it's not hard to do but indeed we need a clean definition; it may even
be that we need to change some of this \*dir stuff; (it's no problem for
me to inject dir nodes in the node list); especially messy seems the
number stuff
btw is there a reason why in bidi arabic r->l is tagged 'al' and not 'r'?
