Sure. At the same time, these are exactly the kinds of rules we _don't_
want to deify. The people who write these things are not typographers. The
bidi algorithm mixes text-editing needs with typesetting needs. We have to
examine bidi from a typography perspective, then integrate the parts of
the algorithm that make sense in that context (no pun intended) at the
lua-extension level.
