This seems like something we/platform should prioritize if we're serious
about RTL. If we can't accomplish this in the next six months, that
would be sad. The bracket matching logic is an example of good,
standardized magic that makes correct RTL happen without web developers
having to be experts, whereas most of our FxOS efforts have been
specific to Gaia's own apps and not beneficial to Firefox OS users
trying to use/surf/pin the web.
Note: I know mhenretty is just being the messenger for reality and
setting proper expectations here. Also tempering my rhetoric, I
did some brief investigation at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1157727#c16 and it
seems like only IE implements the bracket pair matching part of
the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm at this time. So <bdi> is
indeed the rule for now, but I would not suggest we take this as
an excuse to be the last one to implement bracket pair matching.
