If I understand right,
babel converts the input ")siht ekil(" to "(like this)"
while
xelatex+polyglossia converts "(siht ekil)" to "(like this)".
IMO, this is a polyglossia feature. It may be regarded as a regression, if
we "fix" it to behave like babel:
However, the applied patch seems to do exactly this. Whether it is a
"fix" or a "regression" depends on the use case.
+ documents written for babel also work with polyglossia,
- text pasted from other applications now fails with both, babel and
polyglossia.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
