I know that they have default values. That's not the problem and not the
question which was:
How to get a Bidi OVERRIDE with PUAs?
The term OVERRIDE is important here.
I just wonder why I can't force this property notably on PUAs where the strict
BiDi rules SHOULD be relaxed, and what I could do to get a RTL presentation of
these characters. I never said that IE was not conforming, but that PUAs which
can't be defined for RTL characters are a great source of "frustration" as
Kenneth said.
Isn't there a format control that works to _force_ a RTL behavior on PUAs (or
other characters...)?
Should then I use non standard assignments in reserved areas or over an existing
RTL block, so that my doc would no more be conforming to the encoding model?
