The above page spells this out (under "Future Plans"):
The Emacs core developers concluded that the bi-directional drawing
method used here is not suitable to be integrated into the original
GNU Emacs. Another attempt to implement a bidi algorithm in Emacs'
display engine is ongoing and it is likely to be a part of future GNU
Emacs. An overview is described in the DisplayEngineForBidi section of
the Emacs Wiki web site.
The ``other ongoing attempt'' it refers to is the code I wrote, but
unfortunately no one had time to work on it since it was written and
integrated into the Emacs display engine. It needs a lot of
debugging.
