HL1 is part of the UBA, even if you, personally, don't like it. Two implementations, opting to use HL1 one and the other not, can both conform to the UBA.
There is no standard on whether HL1 should be applied or not for plain text email clients. > It explicitly applies to > plain text, in the absence of any high-level protocols. Outlook employs a higher level protocol. It is "all paragraphs are LTR, unless the user presses CTRL+RIGHT SHIFT, in which case all paragraphs are RTL". It is a valid, standard conforming protocol, even if Eli Zaretskii doesn't approve. > And there can > be no high-level protocols that disable determination of base > direction of a paragraph altogether. HL1 states the exact opposite. Last I checked (half an hour ago), it was still part of the standard.
