I understand this is an inconvenient response, but the ODF standard makes clear
that consumers must process content to determine which language attributes are
effective for what characters (see ODF v1.4 20.358). The markup-only
transformation described here would only work reliably for documents that don't
contain any CTL or CJK content.

Microsoft's OOXML works the same way. I consider this a flaw in both standards.
This design causes a lot of problems (Bug 166008), and I hope we can eventually
transition to something that works better for use cases like this one (Bug
162336, Bug 148257).
