--- Comment #1 from Amir E. Aharoni <[email protected]> ---
The really good way to resolve this is not to change the Unicode bidi
algorithm, but to add support for inline direction marking to the OpenDocument
standard and then implement it in LibreOffice. Put simply, HTML has <div
dir="rtl"> and <span dir="rtl">, and OpenDocument only has something like <div
dir="rtl">, but not <span dir="rtl">.

Using directionality marks like RLM, RLE and PDF is not a robust way to resolve
this, although if they are used internally and the user doesn't have to use
them directly, it's probably OK.

I tried to bring this issue up several times on the OpenDocument mailing list,
but didn't get any useful replies. See here:
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-comment/201110/msg00000.html

There may be some challenges with implementing this, but before discussing the
implementation challenges, it must be agreed to make the change in the standard
that LibreOffice is implementing.
