I've got lots of complaints about the way most bidi-enabled editors handle
keyboard and cursor interaction; would a list of specific annoyances, er,
use-cases be of any use?

For example, in Mellel (http://www.redlers.com/) I've discovered that if an
RTL document starts with an LTR string, it is impossible to simply insert a
linefeed in front of that string.  It's also a major pain to edit XML in a
bidi editor.  And I do mean major.  If emacs could make it easy and natural
to perform such operations it would be manna from heaven.

Cheers,

Gregg
