I'd like to ask a a related but more general question. If a line break in
a paragraph coincides with a space between RTL and LTR text (or LTR and RTL)
does the new line always begin at the margin appropiriate to the new line?
In other words does a line always begin at one margin or the other where a
reader's eye would expect it to?
