What about the paired quotation marks (i.e. source: a«b» - reordered: »a«b)?
Shouldn't they be handled by the BPA the same way the paired
punctuation marks are handled?

Only within specific locales, through tailorings taking into account
how they are effectively paired...
However this requires identification of languages (and serious
difficulties in multilanguage plain-text documents).
You seem to assume that » is the opening quote and « is the closing
one. In
Actually, they have a respective entries in the BidiMirroring.txt:
00AB; 00BB # LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
00BB; 00AB # RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
and mapped into gc=Pi and gc=Pf.
Even without the per-language tailoring, it seems like a good basic
approximation, no?
Their pairing and mirroring is not appropriate for all languages using them.

Yep, forgot to mention that the difference is in that that some paired
quotation characters might be used alone in place of apostrophe, etc.
so that the BPA rules could be relaxed for the quotation marks.
Dunno about their mirroring in all languages. I thought the

I agree, we should avoid bad typography. But isn't a Latin chi (the
IPA Latin chi being proposed) with Greek weights instead of Latin
weights bad typography? Probably,
