So? Let *them* fix *their* software. They should know, same as the rest of us, that you can't depend on the PUA. If they wanted LTR base glyphs, then they should have coded that into their system. Didn't someone just say that the normative properties of characters are not necessarily etched in stone? If that's true of anything, it should be of the PUA.

Scenario: The UTC listens to you and defines some section of the PUA as strong right-to-left by default for use in PUA-defined bidirectional scripts. Somebody else is *already* using that section of the PUA for something else. Now they have an interoperability problem, because the default behavior they were depending on changes over in some future version of some software, not under their control, and they data gets munged by bidi.
