You're right, but I wonder about many bidi aspects. How should cut and
paste operate in X applications? E.g., let's think that I have two
bidi-aware applications, running in two Xterms. When I paste some Arabic
text from one into another, should the second one apply "Reverse Bidi
Algorithm" and "Reverse Glyph Shaping"? But they're not one-to-one :(
