I'm not the one in charge of plugging the content, but I don't think using a
different script would make the browser display the elements differently.
Removing whitespace between the list items containing the *images* has the
exact same effect so I'd say the script used here is irrelevant.

Actually, using images to explain this behavior makes perfect sense.
These would say "CSS" in LTR *and* RTL
<img alt="C" /><img alt="S" /><img alt="S" />
These would say "CSS" in LTR but "SSC" in RTL
<img alt="C" /> <img alt="S" /> <img alt="S" />

Let me take back what I said about Opera ;-).

Thanks
